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!!!!!!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the most efficient way to learn Python, I'm torn between Codecademy and DataCamp as the main options. Do you think this comparison is accurate https://self-starters.com/datacamp-vs-codecademy/? I want to start a side project for data analysis written in Python but I don't want to change my career.

Can anyone share their experiences with either or both? I'm particularly interested in which one offers a more comprehensive and beginner-friendly approach to learning Python. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

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!

Hello everyone,

I somehow managed to get a job as a machine learning engineer, but I'm not yet confident in my skills. Additionally, the project manager wants me to take on MLOps tasks in 3–5 months, wich is freaking me out. I have no DevOps experience.

I am currently self-studying and practising with fundamental and high-level books.

Additionally i am looking for courses, because i like structur.

Datacamp and Codecademy are currently on sale.
Which would you recommend? What was your experience? Are there any alternative sources?

If you have money to spare, which one would be better?

Just wanted to know which of the aforementioned sites are better to learn about SQL and other languages like python, R etc. Have been swinging between Datacamp and Codeacademy to learn these languages but couldn't decide on one , need advice.

Edit: just started using Codeacademy as well , found out that it doesn't display the tables that i am working on like it does in DataCamp , you have to put the query to display the tables you are working with everytime you want to see the tables.

Hi all,

I'm currently teaching myself python to eventually start engaging in data science. Using Mimo has been really helpful with learning the basics, however, now that I'm close to finishing their tree, I'm looking for how to move to the next step.

My question: are sites like CodeAcademy (£191 p/y) and Datacamp (£111 p/y) worth the subscription fees? Or should I use something like Sololearn or general tutorials instead? Particularly to build up my skills quickly in Python + 'Data Science', and maybe learning another language like R (for a possible future PhD and professional reasons).

Hey everyone! I just wanted to ask which was better for you guys, codeacademy or datacamp? I'm personally trying to get more into machine learning/ai development.

I’m about to start school this fall working towards my computer science degree. In the meantime, I’d like to start working on other employable skills that’ll help me in the long run. The three best sites I’ve seen to come across are Datacamp, Codecademy, or Boot.dev.

Which one, if any, is the most credible? Would you recommend learning and getting certs through any of these programs or are they a waste of time?

I used them years ago to learn Python and got pretty deep into their courses and learned quite a bit. They were undoubtedly pioneers in terms of that interactive online approach.

After a few years of not doing any coding, I am trying to quickly refresh my memory and skills. I have been trying to use them but 1) the site is very slow and unresponsive and 2) I noticed their core Python course seems to be using methods that are at least 6 versions of old - for example they don't use f-strings and use format() method instead quite a bit. I understand leveraging ever-green content - and majority of core concepts still stand - but you gotta update it every once in a while.

Curious if others have had similar experience recently. Mostly frustrated by extremely slow load times. I am still on a free trial period but will likely cancel before it runs out.

Curious what alternatives people have used recently and have been happy with? Dataquest was also quite slow load times. Datacamp seems ok. And big shoutout to futurecoder.io which is still a work-in-progress but what is there is fantastic (and free).

Don’t know what to choose between 2 websites for Data science. I am just looking for a place that teaches me the basics so I can do my own project and competition on Kaggle I am a total beginner in programming Thank everyone

I recently paid for a yearly subscription, and I was wondering if it was a good investment.
