What is 365 Data Science?

365 Data Science aims to solve the biggest problem in data science: education. People who want to enter the field do not know where to start. They wonder whether they need a PhD, or perhaps a few years in a remotely related job. Universities have been slow at adapting their educational offering. In fact, a specialized data science training program is not even offered on most campuses, and when it is, the prerequisites of statistical and mathematical knowledge can be intimidating. All this results in an environment where companies struggle to find well-prepared candidates who have acquired the necessary expertise and are ready to start their data science career. This is how 365 Data Science started. The vendor states they are a group of friends turned start-up enthusiasts. Their journey began in 2016 with the mission to create the world’s most accessible and intuitive data science training materials.

365 Data Science is the place to start learning data science

Pros

  • Very good for beginners
  • Explains concepts in a crystal clear manner
  • It also has advanced topics such as machine learning (which we did not pursue, but could have).

Cons

  • There was no coding in the browser supported. I know that other platforms offer this, but the 365 Team suggested that having all files on your PC resembles real-life coding much better.

Return on Investment

  • We have not had the chance to measure that.
