SDS 230: SuperDataScience 2.0

Welcome back to the SuperDataScience Podcast, ladies and gentlemen, super excited to have you back here on the show because today we have a extra special announcement for you. We are launching SuperDataScience 2.0. This is an incredible and amazing fantastic time for us and let me give you a quick rundown so you can see why.

About two years ago we noticed a increase in demand in SuperDataScience. We saw that the platform is actually going very well. People are signing up, taking courses, learning, upgrading their careers, getting promotions and getting new jobs and just generally expanding their skill sets in the space of data science. And we decided to upgrade SuperDataScience to be a much, even better and even better user experience and even better place where people can come to get all the knowledge updates, tips, information, insights, mentoring, everything in the space of data science. And we were quite ambitious. We thought the project would take us about six to eight months. In fact, we were planning to launch it at DataScienceGo 2017. If you just like put that into perspective, that was October, or I think, yeah, October, 2017 and now it’s two years later.

It’s only now that everything is ready. That is how massive of a project it was and how much more we put into it, than we were originally thinking of putting into it. But now that it’s all done, we are very excited to announce that SuperDataScience 2.0 is going live. The official transition will happen at the beginning of February, but however we are already getting enrollments into the platform. If you were around and watching your emails in November last year in November, 2018 during Black Friday, you would have seen some announcements go about a very super, super early bird promotion we were doing.

So through that, we already have several hundred members in the new version of SuperDataScience and this week we’ve been running another promotion, the 2019 promotion where you can get your annual membership in SuperDataScience at 43% off and to lock yourself in for 2019. And today is actually the final day of this promotion.

So if you haven’t jumped onto that yet, you can find it at www.superdatascience.com/yes. So if you go to www.superdatascience.com/yes, you can find your opportunity to sign up there. But remember that today’s the last day.

And, what is this all about? Well, we, because the platform is launching early February, we want to give an opportunity to all of our community to sign up early at a heavily discounted price so that you can walk in this membership for yourself for 2019 and really skyrocket your career. And, so what do you get inside SuperDataScience 2.0?

Well, first of all, first and foremost, of course you get all of our courses, so you get unlimited access to all of our courses. And just to put that into perspective, that is over 30 courses on data science, artificial intelligence, blockchain, deep learning, machine learning, visualization, tableau, python, R, lots and lots of different topics and tools.

So all the courses that we’ve been developing over the past three or four years, you get unlimited access to all of those courses on demand. You learn at your own pace and however quickly you want to. It’s an amazing learning experience. We’ve developed a brand new player, which will allow you to watch the course, you can rewind fast forward, you can slow the courses down, you can speed them up. There’s lots of functionality, it’s really, it’s really cool experience and I was personally involved in making sure that you are going to have a great time watching all courses there. So 30 courses. And just to put into perspective, it’s a total of over 250 hours of content in about, or actually more than 2000 tutorials, so 30 courses, 2000 tutorials and over 250 hours of educational content on data science, AI and related topics.

So that’s number one.

Number two, what you also get in the platform is something that’s super important for data science. It’s something that we’ve been hearing a lot from our students. A lot of requests on this topic is the hands on. So it’s great to learn the theory and in our courses we also practice it. We do exercises, but people always, students always want more exercise. In fact, everybody wants more exercises to be able to learn how to apply these topics in their industry and other industries and get some hands on experience. Some case studies for perhaps your resume or just so that you’re more comfortable actually applying these things. That’s why in the SuperDataScience 2.0 we have 50 workshops, so 50 workshops that have been designed by industry experts or experts in the field of data science on specific topics. So we invited a lots of different data scientists and machine learning experts, AI experts who know their topics and visualization experts and other python, R experts, who know these topics and we asked them to develop workshops.

And in SuperDataScience 2.0, you can watch the workshops. So it’s basically a business case, a business problem that’s outlined for you. You’re given all the data sets that you need and then, you need to go and solve it on your own. So in our courses, you follow along as we solve it together, here you need to go and solve it on your own and then you come back and you can watch the solution, the recommended solution by that industry expert and compare yours to theirs. And that’s a really great experience. 50 workshops available in there for you to practice all these different topics.

So that’s number two.

Of course, you get access to other content that we produce such as the SuperDataScience Podcast, also a very cool experience where it’s very well categorized and, I wanted to do a shout out to Rio Branham, one of our students here because he helped us categorize the whole podcast. And so you can just go in and you can search, filter the podcast by Tableau and wherever we actually talk about Tableau, you get that or machine learning or artificial intelligence podcasts, or blockchain podcasts, or podcasts where we talk about python and… Yeah, so that’s a really cool experience as well. So you can get to the episodes that actually really matter to you, to what you’re interested in. We have over 200 episodes on the SuperDataScience Podcast. It’s a great opportunity to really hone in your skills by listening and getting that mentorship advice. We talk a lot about mentors and, it’s great to have like in person, in real life mentors. Another great thing is to have those mentors through a podcast or through other means where you can listen to them and still get their knowledge and their tips and hacks like that.

So of course the SuperDataScience Podcasts hosts lots and lots of blogs about these topics, about computer vision, deep learning, machine learning, visualization and all these other topics as well. We developed a really cool experience for reading blogs that’s also available at SuperDataScience 2.0. Oh and while we’re on that topic in terms of courses, you get access to 30 courses plus any new courses we release in 2019. We plan on releasing at least a course per month or about, approximately a course per month. So you’ll get access to all these new courses, in SuperDataScience 2.0 as they come out at no additional charge if you get the annual membership. So that’s… those are the main components.

And of course a new feature that we will be introducing slowly over the course of the year. It’s not fully functional or fully there yet, but this is something we’ll be working on. And that is the social component. So, a lot of people have expressed interest in connecting with data scientists and networking in having like a place where you can meet more data scientists and actually develop those valuable relations, mentorships, maybe partnerships, practice together, learn from each other. So that’s something I will be developing in, SuperDataScience 2.0 and it’ll be released more and more throughout the year.

And you, by locking in the annual access today, you get access to any new features released, including those social features in 2019. So there we go. That’s what SuperDataScience 2.0 is all about. If that is exciting or if you’re as excited about that as I am, make sure to sign up. Today is the last chance. Signups close at 23:59 or 11:59 PM New York time this Friday. And you can get your access at 43% off, locking your access for this whole year, 43% off, if you go to www.superdatascience.com/yes. So make sure to check it out and I’ll see you inside SuperDataScience 2.0. And until then, happy analyzing.
