TL;DR: This thorough online bootcamp will help you build strong foundational knowledge of data science, and you can enroll today for just $9.99.


Since data science programs only recently began catching on in higher education, we’d forgive you for going your entire college career without writing a single line of programming code. Probably.

But just know that the professional world may not always take so kindly to data ineptitude: According to a recent survey of companies spanning different geographies, functions, organization sizes, and industries, the adoption of big data in the workplace just reached an all-time high of nearly 60 percent —and that number will likely increase in the years to come. 

In other words, there’s a good chance you’ll need a couple lines of data analytics experience on your résumé in order to pique hiring managers’ interest in future job hunts — not necessarily a whole degree, but just a little training, you know?

Udemy’s Data Science Course 2019 can help you pull that off, and without making your bank account sad. It’s an online data science bootcamp run by a highly rated team of instructors that’ll help you cultivate a toolbox of data science skills across more than 20 hours of on-demand video lectures. (And don’t worry — it requires zero prior experience.)

Like many classes of its kind, Udemy’s education covers data science essentials like Python, matplotlib, statistical analysis, Tableau, TensorFlow deep learning, and machine learning algorithms. What sets it apart from the rest of the pack is the fact that it delves into the mathematics behind machine learning — a must-know topic that most other courses gloss over completely.

On top of those video lectures, you’ll get access to 70 articles and 118 downloadable resources when you enroll in the Data Science Course 2019. If you go through the PCMag Shop (owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis), you can do so today for just $9.99 — a fraction of its $199.99 MSRP, and $3 less than what Udemy itself charges for it.

Sign up now and you’ll get access to the course via email within two hours so you can start learning right away. (Be sure to check your Trash and Spam folders if you don’t see it in your inbox within that time frame.)
