Udemy course and Anaconda

Signed up for and started Data Analysis with Pandas and Python at Udemy . I certainly can't complain about the price, it's less than $15. I watched the intro video and and it covers the things I'm interested in, Pandas, Anaconda and Jupyter Notebooks. Basically installing Anaconda installs everything needed for the course. So even though this material is offered at Linux Academy, of which I'm a member, with all the errors and their lack of interest responding to my issues with the course, I decided to try this course. I've looked at courses from them before but so far have never taken one. And for me a huge plus is telling me the price up front.

They also offer a "Certificate of Completion". They do say Udemy is not an accredited institution, and as a result, the certificates cannot be used for formal accreditation . While that is important, to me what is just as important is that I feel that I've learned something. With my ability to generate many random fake but real looking data I can further explore pandas capabilities.

Well so far I'm very impressed with the instructor and the content. He covers installation on Mac and Windows only so I did have to take a small diversion from the course to install what was needed on Linux. But I'm guessing the usage should be the same.
