so the reason I why I decided to just do this boot camps because I tried a lot Codecademy Codecademy premium Coursera those kind of everything every online learning platform when khan academy but i find that i really have much time while working and what a boot camp does especially a five-day boot camp is the information is out there but you curated enough so that i can take it and efficiently in that short amount of time and i think that's the most valuable part of the boot camp I really one thing I really like about data science to do is that I came here with very minimum programming skill it's mostly just matlab which is very basic and some arduino but I came here and I came up knowing a lot about the concepts theoretically and very um just the right amount of syntax be able to apply it and definitely take off from it definitely had to start difficult because all the lingo and self was very important to me but I think data science dude you made it very easy for me to understand and apply it especially with the challenges and the homework a map I think it was really fun with it the Titanic survival mode with the cattle I think that's my favorite feature because I got really addicted to it and I think it facilitated a lot of my learning I definitely feel I learned a lot from the data science dojo and taking from what I learned I definitely can build upon it and I will definitely be participating in a lot more cattle competition and built my start building building my portfolio using what i learned from lina science to do yeah
