Access to datacamp

[ceca92]

Hi, How do I access the DataCamp group?

Hi there, you are referring to last year's reading list. I am making a group at Datacamp for this course for those of you are who are still interested in the opportunity to learn there. I will post soon on the intranet with a link.

Do we have an ETA on this? :)

I have sent out an invitation via KU Absalon.

I have sent out an invitation via KU Absalon.

Hi , I followed the link for the DataCamp group and I registered. However, I do not have access to the premium content of DataCamp. Thereby, I can do only the first week of lectures in Python which are quite basic.

Is that normal or I did something wrong when I was following the link?

I would like to know about the above as well. @abjer , do you know how we access the premium version? Or did you just enter a future date when signing up? :)

Andreas is currently on paternity leave, so he might not see this issue. I'm not entirely sure why you would expect to have access to the premium content? I believe it was available when the course ran last summer, but i don't think it is available this year (you have been given assignment 0 instead).

In any case, while you wait for a better answer here are some other resources and tips:

• Project Euler is a collection of math problems that are best solved with a computer.

• Find something you like on pythonprogramming and code it up as you follow the tutorial.

• Kaggle competitions are good if you already have a good grasp of python and want to improve your ML skills.

• Advent of Code is of course over for 2018, but the problems are still up. Some of these are quite tricky.

• /r/dailyprogrammer is full of programming challenges of varying difficulty.

• Do your own small project. Get some data from somewhere like Our World In Data or Opportunity Insights and start exploring it. Then simply [get stuck -> google -> repeat] until you have learned something.

Another great learning source is the site Medium. You can find a lot of articles related to Python.

Sometimes, it can also be useful to look through the #python tag on twitter.

@IAmAndreasSK Did you sign up with a KU mail? (i.e. @ku.dk or @alumni.ku.dk) I think this is a requirement.

[IAmAndreasSK]

@abjer , yes. I contacted them, and this is what they said:

Please be advised that you have the academic group which will start 2019-08-12 so you cannot enroll in the individual plan.

Alright, I guess it will open up on Monday then.
