DataCamp vs. Udacity

DataCamp is helpful for people who want to learn Python, R, or SQL this is the first go-to place. Also if anyone wants to shift their career into data science these courses & paths will definitely help you understand and land in a data science job. People who want to just learn python can also do courses on DataCamp but it is more suitable if you are interested in data science.

It's suited well to support on developing a project and following a set curriculum to get things and material in order. Also it has the idea of a nano-degree as the mini-certification to focus on working through a program over a course of a few months. It's more of an interactive course and best for having access for a set period of time. It helps to prepare well for exams but less beneficial when it comes to more applications I find, and should not be used to supplant any resource, but to use in conjunction with.

For the most part, site usability is great. I would say the only shortcoming from my end was when I needed support. Support responses were typically very slow, the few times I needed it.

I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

The quality and content of courses are better in DataCamp than in any other product. Because courses are specially designed to understand you better on data science. The instructors are highly skilled whereas in other products instructors are not much skilled. Projects and hands-on coding sessions and assessments are better on DataCamp.

I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

• I am already in a great position as a CTO with a great company. I hope to be able to build some new technology with what I am learning, but I haven't applied any of it yet to my own real-world problems. I will though.
