Data science bootcamp on sale for less than $10
TL;DR: This beginner-friendly online class will teach you the ins and outs of data science, and it’s on sale for just $9.99.
In this gig economy era of side hustles and contractor positions that are really just full-time jobs sans health insurance, a profession that offers job stability, a decent base salary, and long-term career satisfaction can seem like a unicorn (but more rare).
And then there’s data science. As companies spanning size and industry have grown to rely on big data analysis as part of their day-to-day business decisions, the demand for data scientists has ballooned in recent years, and their earnings reflect it. What’s more, a recent Indeed report claims these “skilled digital data jockeys” will become even more sought-after in the years to come.
So what does it take to become a data scientist? Well, according to that same study, you’ll need to be familiar with at least one programming language — Python, for instance — and have some experience with statistical modeling and machine learning tools. The Data Science Course 2019 is an online bootcamp from Udemy that’ll tick those boxes for you, and right now you can enroll for around $10 when you snag this course on sale in the PCMag Shop.
Geared toward wannabe data scientists with no prior experience in the field, the class covers the basics of data analysis, statistics, Python, machine learning, and the data visualization program Tableau. Its education spans more than 20 hours of on-demand video and includes access to 70 articles and nearly 120 downloadable resources, which delve into deep learning frameworks (like Google’s TensorFlow), explore various ways to improve algorithms, and much more.
Udemy’s bootcamp even touches on the mathematics behind machine learning, a topic that most online data science classes avoid entirely.
Complete lifetime access to the Data Science Course 2019 normally retails for $199.99, but you can enroll today for just $9.99. You’ll get an access email within two hours so you can get started right away. (Be sure to check your Spam and Trash folders if you don’t see it in your inbox within that time frame.)
