Data science bootcamp on sale for less than $10

Nearly seven years after the Harvard Business Review first gave it the title, Data Scientist is still arguably the sexiest job out there. LinkedIn reports that demand for these highly skilled workers is ridiculously high, and according to the company review site Glassdoor — which recently named the position its Best Job in America for 2019 — the same can be said for their salaries. Your typical U.S. data scientist earns an average base pay of $117,345 a year. 

In the iconic words of Paris Hilton: That’s hot. 

The thing is, data science isn’t exactly a field you can just waltz right into. Job seekers typically need three things in order to snag a gig: math and statistics knowledge, computer literacy, and some sort of specialized knowledge of a certain industry. 

For some prospective data scientists, obtaining that trio of skills requires a whole college education. But still others can achieve great professional success in the field of data science simply by enrolling in online coursework. 

If you think you’re up to the task, we’ve got some great news for you: The PCMag Shop is currently having a sale on Udemy’s Data Science Course 2019, a comprehensive bootcamp that’s taught entirely online. Its learning is valued at $199.99, but for the next few days, you can enroll for a fraction of that price.

Featuring more than 20 hours of on-demand video that’s accessible on mobile and TV, this beginner-friendly program aims to turn you into a well-rounded data scientist with exceptional analytics and programming skills. Its lessons begin with data scientist essentials like Tableau, pandas, and Python programming with NumPy before delving into more complex tools, topics, and applications, including the math behind machine learning — a subject that’s frequently glossed over in other online classes.

By the time you finish the bootcamp’s coursework, you’ll understand how to code and solve tasks with Deep Learning frameworks (like Google’s TensorFlowDevelop) and improve Machine Learning algorithms. With our lives depending on artificial intelligence like never before, such knowledge is beyond valuable.

Everyone who signs up for lifetime access to the Data Science Course 2019 receives access to 70 articles and 118 (because science) downloadable resources along with their coursework — and it’s all just $9.99.
