I want to give some props to a course I recently took online at Udemy.com. The course is called Data Science A-Z and is taught by someone by the name of Kirill Eremenko.
First, I just want to stress that I am not being paid for this endorsement in any way. Just want to share my review with you all.
The price was right at a mere $10. Not sure if that was a short-term promotional price or how long it will last, but it’s well worth it — even as a refresher.
There are three sections: data visualization with Tableau, Statistics/Modeling, and Data Preparation. The sections are not dependent on each other and can be taken in any order, which adds a nice element of flexibility to the whole thing.
As you probably know, there are countless courses out there but what I appreciate about this one is that it was easy to digest if you have any sort of background in these areas and it explains not only how to approach these disciplines but why you are doing them at all.
During the course, I was also introduced to a great free statistical program called Gretl. You can download it here. If you have used SPSS or SAS, you’ll pick it up in no time at all.

I also really like Data Camp, but there is a monthly fee associated with membership. I believe it’s somewhere between $20-30/month.
Thanks for reading.
