I may have mentioned in a previous post that I joined DataCamp to learn about artificial intelligence (ai) because it has everything I need (or think I need right now as a beginner) in one place.
Not only is it great for learning but the continuous prompting to practice what I know, the tests to gauge my current level and how to improve, plus the ability to focus on a learning plan, all make for focused and consistent learning.
I have used the personalized learning plan available to follow an AI learning track and DataCamp has been put together what I need to learn. I have been very focused and I am really enjoying it.

I went through their skills assessment quiz to get an idea of how I will score based on what I already know. The targe score is 109 (to be ready for their exam) and my score was 114 so based on that I can take their certification exam. I have decided to wait however to complete everything. I want to be in the strongest position possible.
Once I complete this I will focus on intermediate Python – although according to the tests I have taken I need to improve my beginner Python first.
