Description
Dataquest allows you to learn data science and programming with a community of students, teachers, and professionals in Python, R, and statistics.
The community's online discussion forum is free. Members use this forum to connect with other students and professionals worldwide, exchange knowledge, and bounce off ideas. Discussion inside the forum often revolves around members' experiences and questions. There is a Q&A thread and a Dataquest Direct section (a space to read articles from other members).
However, if you are interested in going deeper, you can subscribe to Dataquest to take a structured approach to learn data science.
By purchasing any of Dataquest's premium plans, you will access learning paths for different data science topics. Also, you can take programming language courses and receive certifications at the end. This will help you build your portfolio and boost your career. Additionally, you will have access to exercises to practice what you learn.
You can pay for the premium version of Dataquest monthly ($44 per month) or annually ($24 per month). However, if you make a one-time payment of $706, you will enjoy lifetime access to the platform.

Quote
"Dataquest starts at the most basic level, so a beginner can understand the concepts. I tried learning to code before, using Codecademy and Coursera. I struggled because I had no background in coding, and I was spending a lot of time Googling. Dataquest helped me actually learn." -Aaron Melton
