Thanks for posting, @ffumarola ! This is earlier than I thought it would be on PH :) (seeing the referrer in google analytics was a surprise) I started making this 3 months ago because I wanted an easier way for people to get into data science. I specifically decided to use Python because it's a much easier first language to learn (I learned a lot of codi… See more

He self-taught himself programming and data science, and has now built this tool to help people start learning data science themselves. I really enjoy the fact that he lets you try it out before registering. I've gone through a few lessons and I think he did… See more

I cannot wait to try this. I'm especially interested in the future courses (stats, machine learning) that you discuss at the bottom of the page. I wonder how this rivals (in terms of content) with Coursera courses.

Love this. The Data Science specialization on Coursera is fantastic, but uses R, which isn't that helpful if you are trying to build a production ML system. Also, if you're a Python web dev, this is much easier than learning R. I definitely prefer projects to lectures when I am trying to learn anything technical. I would love to see an updated version of T… See more
