Question (on Quora) Is the R data science course from datacamp worth the money?
Answer:
It depends on your learning style.
If you like watching videos then coursera/udacity might be better.
If you like reading then a book/e-book might be better.
If you like hands-on then something like Data Camp is a great choice. I think they have monthly plans so it’s much cheaper to try them out. When I subscribed to it, it was like 30$/Month or so. I found it was worth it. Also, if you want to see if “hands-on” is how you learn best. Try this: swirl: Learn R, in R. — it’s free! Also, Data Camp has a free course on R too so you could try that as well.
Also, if you want to have free unlimited access for 2-days then try this link: https://www.datacamp.com/invite/G8yVkTrwR3Khn
R is a great language to learn for Data Science and usually getting hands on experience helps one learn faster then just reading because here they apply the concepts practically which gives them much more real world practice and experience which is important to get a good understanding of the subject.
