Last week i enrolled in and completed the Johns Hopkins Crash Course in Data Science class through Coursera.
The introduction says that it will likely take a week to complete or 2 days if you are able to set aside large blocks of time. I was able to knock it our in 3 days of lunches at work.
Overall it was a very engaging class and it is exactly what it claims to be, an crash course overview of the growing field of data science.
I did the free version, lets face it i am a) cheap and b) was just putting my toe in the water and wasnt inspired to pay $49 for a certificate of completion.
Would I recommend this to someone else? Yes, if there is even a passing interest in Data science, big data, etc. this is definitely worth the time invested.
More soon. - Z
