It was good to know that W3schools had a cyber security course to get certified in. I wish they had other courses like A+, Network, Security, etc. to get certified in. Thank you W3schools!
Looking forward to adapting and adopting what I have learned to be flexible and ready for any on-the-job tasks. Thank you for this opportunity to continue to learn and grow.
I’m currently learning C, and I have to say that W3Schools is a great website for learning programming. The interactive coding exercises, combined with the excellent documentation, make the learning experience much more effective and significantly speed up the learning process.
A great Python certification. The questions are relevant, practical, and cover real Python concepts. I passed with 96% and would definitely recommend it.
It was not easy at times but I like my certificate. Hereby I attach an image that shows me during the learning process. This made me a lot of money and I can buy some Vietnamese food and new Dacia Logan.
W3 school has a systematic aproach to study a topic. Having received a Certification of completion in SQL, I've made myself stand out of my colleagues at work (non-IT field).
Absolutely amazing! Fairly educative and practical, with a very easy and straightforward UX/UI and constant reviews and upgrades / updates to all the content in the tutorials as well as excellent and practical examples, exercises, quizzes and much much more! It is the foundation base to all Web developers and designers. Highly recommend!
This certification with adaptive exam is an excellent way to prove knowledge, there was some complex multiple choice questions and code samples with specific results that require execute the code to verify results. I think it was great. Thank you!
I glad I enrolled in this course, already I am becoming more confident with my technical skills, the exercises, challenges and the final exams are really well structured , I appreciate the W3schools community for that and making learning well structured, I was confused of where to begin from but now I have a clear road map, and I am learning with it, the league is also something I really like the competition.
I loved the experience. Nothing could have helped me more and the python certification exam has helped me to be able to reach those boundaries that have pressed me in. Thanks to W3Schools, I have finally been able to attain the certifications that I need to be able to earn a position as a freelance software developer with lots of jobs already lined up for me at a stunning rate. Thank you W3Schools!
I very much enjoyed the experience and could not have asked for better. Pertaining to W3Schools helped me to achieve my dreams and become a freelance software developer!
The "Learn Pandas" course was excellent. Pandas was created by esteemed Sir Wes McKinney in 2008. I learned about Series, Data Frames, reading CSV and JSON files, and analyzing and cleaning data. Cleaning data involves dealing with empty cells, data in the wrong format, wrong data, and removal of duplicates. I also learned about correlations and plotting. In plotting I learned about scatter plots and histograms. The course was a completely new learning experience. Thanks a lot.
My experience studying with w3Schools over the years has been fantastic. It has everything: theory explained in concise sentences, a multitude of examples that you can interact with and save in your personal space. I took my first steps with JavaScript here, fundamental steps to be able to move forward and enjoy the journey.
The "Learn NumPy" course is excellent. The exercises are very useful and helped to gain understanding of the subject. All the topics have been explained very nicely and in a lucid manner. I learned about array creation, data types, indexing, and slicing. NumPy arrays are multidimensional. NumPy stands for Numerical Python and was created in 2005 by the respected Sir Travis Oliphant. NumPy is very interesting and challenging. Revision is needed to retain the concepts and the syntax. Sound knowledge of NumPy will help an aspiring data scientist to succeed in his career. I also learned about copy and view, shape, reshape, iterating, split, sort, and filter. Learned about the functions nditer() and ndenumerate() used in iteration. The topics on random numbers included random number generation of types integer and float and continuous and discrete probability distributions like Normal, Binomial, and Poisson. Probability density functions also included Uniform, Multinomial, Rayleigh, and Zipf. Some of the topics covered in Ufuncs are add, subtract, multiply, divide, divmod, sum, prod, cumsum, LCM, GCD, and Set Operations. ufuncs stands for "Universal Functions," and it performs the element-wise mathematical operations. Thanks.
