Well that was helpful and informative. Thank you!!! Yes. I'm thinking of upgrading to Pro. I am also using FreedCodeCamp simultaneously. I like Codecademy but I'm starting to feel I'm not getting as much out of it by not building the projects they offer. What do you think of FreeCodeCamp?
I'm currently a Java student, completed the Intro class with a 98%, but coming into Intermediate Java, I feel like I lack a strong foundation. I'm on the brink of dropping it, doing Code Academy for summer, and pick it back up for Fall semester with better foundation lol. Your comment gives me hope
@@johnowow Sounds like you need to do some projects outside of the course to boost your confidence. That can really help and you can follow a youtube video and slowly you will pick it up.
To be fair, you already had a strong foundation from your first yr in college that you could apply to codecademy, right? I dont feel I could learn a language in a week or even 2.
U need to switch college mister. Im at a university in an engineering sub division, which includes another sub division that focuses on software. We had to learn java in 14 weeks
Ma'am, You are super-awesomely super awesome! Thank you for such a wonderful, in-depth, professional review of Codecademy, Data Camp, and the rest of the resources available on the web these days. You are a single, most selfless, professional in the field that is out there to help us all! Thank you
Just to clarify. The 20 dollars/month is if you pay for a whole year, a single sum of 240 dollars. Otherwise, its 40 dollars a month which is paid monthly. So it's quite a commitment if you want to save 50% of the cost, that might be positive though as it gives you an incentive to study more when you know that you bought a full year. I'm currently on the free version and I'm doing the Python 2 free course which I like a lot, I'm completely new and so far I've learned more than I thought.
That’s the very first video that I watch in your channel, but I really liked it! Just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent job! I loved the way you structured and presented things, it was absolutely incredible! It was pretty useful for me, since I was considering if a membership for Codecademy is worth it! Keep making great videos! Wish you all the best!
Such a well content-structured video. This is the best review I found so far. I'm still in my long wheels when it comes to learning how to code, but so far, I started with the course 'How to code' and seems to work smooth as an introductory gate to this world. After, I will take my time to catch on one language at a time. Looks like it's all about what do you want to build or get.
I have finished codecademy data science path. Its excellent and is one of the best. If you want to start your carrer in data science this is the path you must choose.
Hey, I am thinking to start the data science path at Code academy. How long does it take to complete the course? Is the certification useful for getting a job? I have a degree at maths.
Thank you so much. This really persuaded me to give it a try. I'm a very hands on learner and memorizing instructions with little to no actual experience to cement them in my brain has always frustrated me.
thanks for this comprehensive review, especially about the learning styles. i'm gonna have to see if the style with mostly text over videos will work for me.
A tip is, if you have the funds. Get all the carts you can. They don’t hold much value, but it gives you additional support to get an interview if you’re first starting.
I'd go with the 16" for deep learning. You're really going to see improvements with the upgrades it has over even the top of the line 13" which compromises in almost every area that's important for deep learning.
I plan on shifting my career from Marketing to IT.. I've been binging your videos to help make up my mind but this is all so overwhelming for me coming from a non technical background. can you help me..
Typical Procrastinator_13 tbh me too. I’m about to graduate with an mba more so focused on marketing but now learning coding on the side. You can do it🙌🏾
@@saramichelle5696 Congratulations in advance Sara..😄 and you're making a wise move to upskill.. trust me.. I live in New York and me and my team were the first to be laid off to cover operation costs under current circumstances. I Realised how disposable we really are.. and you can't afford to be jobless in a city like New York.. Now if only I knew where to begin with.. what are you learning currently??
So crazy! Same here, started in marketing but shifted to getting more technical coding tasks in my job and now I want to make the full shift over to programming. Took a year of computer science in college and used codecademy when is was still quite new and all free. It’s crazy to see I’m not alone in the mindset. ♥️
I’m trying to do the Data Science course on Code academy and the Python course is not very good imo. I also did the JavaScript course and thought that one was great but with Python it feels like it gives me a small lesson, doesn’t explain the “why” for anything, and then expects me to make huge leaps without explaining anything. Does anyone have better options specifically for learning Python? I love Code academy’s format in general and want to continue the data science course, but I’m almost done with Python and feel like I didn’t learn anything.
No. There is some video sometimes, but usually not. Ritvik math is a great channel that covers a lot of concepts that are covered in the days science course and it has worked as a great supplement. There are some other great channels out there too, his was just the most frequently superb at explaining what I wanted to know the most frequently.
Geneally speaking no. You dont really need math to learn the strict. However! When it comes to doing algorithms, something very important, math (more precisely discrete math) teaches you how to organize algorithm and logic based structures.
I think I'm well past 100 hours and almost 2/3 of the way through. Then again, I take lots of pauses and try to implement what they're teaching so I can get a lot more out of the content. Experience has taught me that I learn and restrain a lot better that way. I hope that helps.
I've worked across multiple different fields - business analytics / data analytics / data science. I currently have a consulting company where I do all of these, depending on the client. I'll reference different roles in videos depending on the most related one to what I'm talking about.
The Career Force Wow, you’re pretty damn talented 😂. Is your consulting company just you providing solutions for clients or do you have a consulting team that you run?

@@lindashrewsbury297 better take online courses and then practice on codecademy
Hey, I am thinking to start the data science path at Code academy. How long does it take to complete the course? Is the certification useful for getting a job? I have a degree at maths.
Since you posted these comments a year ago, may I ask how things turned out for you since then?
Thank you so much. This really persuaded me to give it a try. I'm a very hands on learner and memorizing instructions with little to no actual experience to cement them in my brain has always frustrated me.
I’m just curious, so how realistic is it to get a job as data scientist after completing one of codacademy programmes?
not very likely to be honest, you gotta churn it, practice and do projects, put them up on github or something ! hope this helps
Good luck - you better know someone at the company you're applying.
Are the projects in codecademy portfolio worthy?
theres an awful little buzz sound throughout the video just so you know
Oh my gosh I thought it was my phone when I started hearing it. Thank you!
I’m gonna go ahead and accuse those damn lightbulbs! That’s exactly what it sounds like to me😂

Wow - wish I had run across Jen's video's before signing up for UC Berkeley's Data Analytics Bootcamp - costing $10,000 bucks!
How did it go? Any update?
thanks for this comprehensive review, especially about the learning styles. i'm gonna have to see if the style with mostly text over videos will work for me.
Is codeacademy's certification valid in industry can I get a job?
Generally, no, but use it anyways because it can't hurt. A lot of these programming jobs don't even require college degrees.
A tip is, if you have the funds. Get all the carts you can. They don’t hold much value, but it gives you additional support to get an interview if you’re first starting.
thank you ... for sharing useful and best information about data scientist -- codecademy
This video was made exceptionally well, thank you so much for the effort and time you put into it.
Does their certification carry weight with prospective employers?
This video is straightforward, insightful, and very helpful! Thank you very much.
can i actually get a job with a professional certificate from code academy?
Between codecademy and scrimba, which one would you choose to learn front-end?
Please give your opinion on dataquest
Hi Jenn, could you also do a review of dataquest?
👍 it's in the works... If all goes according to plan I'll be testing it throughout May and should have a review ready by mid June
The Career Force and DataCamp, please
Here's the DataCamp review ua-cam.com/video/7itLZQ_yjNE/v-deo.html
The ad was datacamp lol. Way to haijack a video
Lol. I got an UpGrad ad.
Thanks for this! I was thinking of subscribing the Pro plan and you helped me decide :)
this is next level suspension
Can you elaborate of the sources outside of Codecademy that you noted could be used to bolster your analytics skillset?
Can you get a job though after finishing your projects and career path in codeacademy pro in data analytics?
even if a beginner-entry junior type of job?
which one is the heavily guided?
so which one is the best?Codecademy or Data camp or Dataquest?
I personally use data camp on an ongoing basis because there are more data science oriented and have better performance than data quest.
@@TheCareerForce thanks
Ok that's what I was hoping. I will definitely learn the basics first then go into Python.
You are authentic and it is so refreshing. Thank you
Hey jenn ..ur information are awsm..ty for that..plz help me out that can i buy macbook pro 13" for deep learning or should go for a 16"..
