I'm meh at #Python. I've tried Coursera and stalled in the middle. The courses were OK content-wise but had a frustrating and uninformative code evaluation system; I spent ~80% of my time trying to parse or reverse-engineer system or instructor decisions.

Now I'm using #Datacamp. It is So Much Better. The code system is smooth and gives decent feedback, and the course is paced and explained very well.

It pains me that I can no longer (since 2017) use in good conscience the learning platform DataCamp. It really worked for me to learn Shiny in R, until the Jonathan Cornelissen incident, when he groped a DataCamp curriculum lead in an Azores Island (Portugal) weeklong company retreat.
Alas it is 2023 and Cornelissen is still CEO in DataCamp, so I guess I'm never going back to the platform.

BuzzFeed News · What Happened When DataCamp Tried To Cover Up Its CEO’s Sexual MisconductBy Davey Alba

My Understanding GDPR course is now live! I had a lot of fun building this introductory course on #GDPR on #DataCamp. I learned a lot about building a succinct and engaging online course, thanks to the excellent collaboration with DataCamp course designers.

I tried to explain and communicate all the crucial GDPR concepts without jargon or dense legal notes. I'm looking forward to the feedback from the learners :) (follow the link and scroll down for course outline) 👇
