Hi!
We're Dataquest.

Learning Python was extremely difficult for me, but it didn't have to be. A decade ago, I had a history degree and few prospects. Ultimately, I fought through the learning process and became a successful machine learning engineer, data science consultant, and, finally, CEO of Dataquest. This is not an overnight success story. My learning journey was long, inefficient, and frequently discouraging.

By the time I was done, I realized how I could have saved thousands of hours of wasted time, and prevented a lot of stress. It came down to focusing on doing things I found interesting and learning along the way. Unfortunately, the courses I was taking forced me to spend multiple months learning syntax or watching lectures I lacked context to understand. It was agony.

I started Dataquest with a clear mission: help anyone with a desire to learn data and coding skills succeed. To do this, I built a project-focused learning platform. Effective online education is both informative and motivating. If you're motivated enough, you can learn and achieve anything.

Since 2014, we've been refining our platform, always focusing on what makes learning effective.
