I work as a Junior Data Analyst and my employer would like to provide me with a budget for further development. I can decide for myself how the money should be invested. I find DataCamp and Coursera interesting.

Has anyone had any experience with these and knows which platform would be better for professional development as a data analyst? Or do you know of other platforms that are even better?

Has anyone done both or currently enrolled? I’m in The Google DA coursera and enjoy it but was wondering which would give me more value when it comes to the job market?

Anyone used these resources and feel that one might be best?

I have no prior programming experience, trying to teach myself at least some R before starting a clinical psychology PhD program in a few months (where I will be using R for research, data analysis, etc.). I very strongly prefer online tutorials to reading textbooks.

Here are the resources I'm looking at:

1. Data Camp: https://www.datacamp.com/courses/free-introduction-to-r

2. Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/r-programming/

3. Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/data-science-foundations-r

Or if you think there's a better online source for learning, I'm open to that as well.

Hey guys,

I’m a beginner to Power BI and planning to take the PL-300 certification. I'm trying to decide which course to take between these two:

• Coursera: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Professional Certificate

• DataCamp: Data Analyst in Power BI Career Track

I know these courses alone won’t be enough to fully prepare for the exam, but I’m looking for a solid starting point to build my skills. If you’ve taken either one, which would you recommend for a beginner?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

I’m in the transportation field. So which one of these should I devote my time to that would help me get on track to a career change?

Hey all, as the title says I’m beginning my journey to learn SQL. This will be my first time learning any programming language. I came across DataCamp and they’re doing a free week of full access to their courses. It’s been good so far! Their free premium access ends today and I’m contemplating whether to pay for the subscription at DataCamp or if I should sign up for Coursera instead. Is one site better than the other? Or are there different websites that are better?

Any info will help, thanks!

I am a teacher looking to become a data analyst. I posted this in Teachers in Transition, but would like your opinions. Before applying for a data analyst job, I'd like to learn the skills and do projects to create a portfolio in hopes that will help me transition out of education. I know what skills to learn but need advice as to which learning platform to use to learn those skills. Preferably I'd like to purchase a subscription from one platform vs spending on two or more different learning platforms. I've heard a lot about Coursera and Data Camp, but this is my first time using them. Which would be better to use? Cost is not an issue as they both have sales until the beginning of December, which would make them similar in price. My concern is which is better to learn. How does it work with software like SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, and R? Would the learning platform provide it or have resources to access it, or would I have to look into researching and purchasing that separately? For Excel courses, I need to buy Microsoft Office.

I’m in the middle of finishing Coursera Google Data Analytics course & would love to add another SQL-related course to supplement my learning. I feel that GDA is not is not in-depth enough to equip me in building a decent portfolio. For now I want to focus to get more in-depth skills on SQL. Which one is the most recommended platform between Coursera UC Davis SQL or DataCamp for its practicability? Any suggestions / thoughts would be much appreciated! - A little bit about my background: I’m on the self-taught path trying to break into Data Analytics. Currently on a career break while transitioning out from tech sales. Thanks!

I know people asks a lot about code learning platforms but I haven't found a good answer yet.
I'm a biologist and I want to learn coding mainly for data science and data analysis (ideally from basic stuff like graph making and statistics all the way up to transcriptomics); I would like to learn both R and Python.
So far by checking several posts and reviews, I have made a shortlist of platforms that seem to be good according to the community but I can't decide on which one to spend my money on (ofc ideally I don't want to pay more than one!). So if you were to choose among these platforms, which one would pick?
-Datacamp
-Codeacademy
-Dataquest
-Udemy
-Or should I just go free with Freecodecamp?
I know there won't be an ultimate answer but I want to gather more information before committing to a platform. Please let me know your opinions and experiences! Strong opinions are specially welcome!

I'm new to data analysis, I know what skills I need to learn but I'm really confused about the resources.

I want to start off with SQL and Excel then move to PowerBI/Tableau then Python/R(I kinda know how to work with python, I've done some web scraping and made simple discord bots for my personal projects, so I'm familiar with the syntax and a few packages but don't have theoretical "under the hood" knowledge of Python.).

I don't just want to acquire those skills, I want to be able to get certifications for them as well like the MO-201 for Excel, PL-300 for powerBI or the Tableau certifications. So I wanna pick the best resource to prepare for them.

So I just need to know what platforms would you recommend for each of the skills in the stack.

I have a degree in Business Analytics and Accounting, and am pursuing roles in data analysis. I want to steer away from computer science roles and head more in the direction of consulting.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Beginner tech in every aspect hoping to break into health tech. I want to add some SQL experience to my resume. What's the best way to start, do you recommend courses to take or any affordable certifications to begin with? There are so many out there and would love some opinion on what has worked best for you! Also, I know this will not get me a job, I'm hoping to gain some foundation and use that knowledge to create portfolios etc.

Hi, just trying to learn some new stuff

Hello all programmers,

I am a cs student who is currently very interested in focusing on data science or data engineering and I came to ask for advice from people who are currently working on how I can continue learning. I was looking around and I saw that data camp is a good option, what do you think.

Edit: Do you know of any other better teaching platform?

Btw sorry if my english is bad I am not from an english speaking country :p

Hi, I’m an undergrad looking to take some data courses on the side. I was wondering what would be considered more legit(?) on my LinkedIn/CV, certificates from completing data courses on Coursera, ie the Google ones, or the ones on datacamp. Datacamp is more expensive, but if it’s better then I guess it’s worth it?

Hello to everyone reading!!!

My name is Andrew I am 19 years old student.

Considering to start learning code and now I am picking the platform to start and stick with it at least a month to learn the basics of the basics.

Googled many websites like Udemy/Youtube/DataCamp/CodeAcademy/Brilliant

Udemy - Offer various videos and courses about many topics and good quality, but you do not have an option to interact with the code at the real time. I am writing down all I learned and then use PyCharm

YouTube - The same as Udemy, but in my opinion offer more basics quality video but its free.

DataCamp - I tried the free version of it. Until now it was an entertaining experience, But the trial ended and now it's 25bucks a month. Its offer a real time practice about what you learn and have good UX.

CodeAcademy - Used the paid option in the past. Lasted for a month(I think it's a problem in me and not the website). Plenty courses and topics to learn. Giving a good practice about what you learn even sometimes I googled things.

Brilliant - The best UX experience until now. But it's more about logical thinkings and less really coding. Should I consider it like secondary source?? (And that coming with paid subscription)?

WHAT TO PICK??? (OR I AM TOO MUCH TRYHARD ABOUT IT?)

Thanks to everyone helping me out!!!!!!

I'm looking to get into bioinformatics and could use some course guidance.

Does anyone have any recommendations? What's the opinion on Datacamp?
