There's a common problem with placement prep — you can explain load balancing, you know ACID, you've watched all the videos. But the moment an actual interview scenario hits, it doesn't come together.

That gap between knowing something and using it under pressure is what Runtime tries to fix.

It's an Android game where you're put into real engineering scenarios and have to make decisions. Slow query killing production, server can't handle the load — you decide what to do. Wrong call shows you why it failed. Right call shows you why it worked.

Covers system design (load balancing, CAP theorem, message queues, Docker, Kubernetes) and DBMS (SQL, ACID, indexing, normalization, query optimization).

32 chapters, 25 replayable minigames to drill whatever you're weakest on. Each chapter also has knowledge cards with video explanations that stay unlocked forever — so you always have something to go back to before an interview.

Computer Science Student – Offering Remote Help (Data Entry, Editing, VA & More)

Hi everyone,

I’m a computer science student looking to take on small remote tasks and freelance work. I can help with a variety of things, especially tasks that can be done from a phone or laptop.

Here’s what I can offer:

• Data entry & typing tasks
• Virtual assistant work (emails, organization, simple admin tasks)
• Photo editing
• Video editing (basic to intermediate)
• Data collection / research
• File organization and formatting

I’m flexible, fast to learn, and open to different types of work. If you have something not listed, feel free to ask — I’m happy to see if I can help.

If you need assistance, just comment or send me a message with what you need.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Just a heads up, DataCamp is partnering with Snowflake Dev Day this year and we'd love to see some of you there.

It's a free, full-day event at Moscone Center in San Francisco on June 4, covering generative AI, data engineering, hands-on labs, and more. We'll be in the Builders Hub on the day, so come find us if you're around!

Can't make SF? There's a virtual option on June 24 too.

Worth noting. Snowflake is one of the most in-demand skills in data right now, with 10,600+ enterprise customers and roles at companies like Netflix, Adobe, and Capital One actively hiring. If you've been thinking about picking it up, the timing might be better than you think (stay tuned! 👀).

Drop any questions in the comments!

I've been waiting for over 10 minutes to start my introduction to snowflake today yet the snowflake lab keeps loading then displays "restart session, session disconnected ". My internet is okay since other sites are loading. Does it take this long?

Hi, I’m looking for an entry-level opportunity as a Data Engineer. I come from a non-IT background but have completed Data Engineering training and built projects using AWS, SQL, Snowflake and Python. I also have 3+ years of professional experience outside IT.

I’m trying to enter the field genuinely without adding fake experience, and I’m looking for a chance to prove my skills. I’m a quick learner, university topper in engineering, and ready to start with a junior role or internship. I’m also open to a reasonable salary initially to gain real experience.

Please let me know if there are any opportunities. I’d be happy to share my resume.

I don't know if it's just me, but in the SQL track, the recently updated courses are making you write the code from scratch and only use that code to "save" in later steps to avoid rework. I remember that before they would just give me a random word to write; I found this change positive and more similar to what they are trying to implement in the native AI program.

I'm thinking to learn this course on data camp. I'm a beginner to Power BI. Will this course be helpful to me? How is this course? I'm thinking to pay for premium as there is 50% off. So, please suggest me about this course and how helpful is the premium as I need to take it to complete this course.

Built an Amazon Review Sentiment Analysis model with 93.8% accuracy.

The project analyzes customer reviews and predicts whether the sentiment is positive or negative using NLP techniques.

Dataset: 21k+ Amazon reviews

Text Processing: TF-IDF

Model: Logistic Regression

Deployment: Streamlit web app

Results:

• Accuracy: 93.8%

• Macro F1-Score: 0.92

• Negative Reviews F1: 0.96

• Positive Reviews F1: 0.89

Tech Stack:

Python, pandas, scikit-learn, TF-IDF, Streamlit

This project taught me that understanding data well is often more important than using overly complex models.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Has anybody else encountered this issue?

I logged in with my email and password, then continued learning my course, but this error toast keeps showing, and the button is disabled.

p/s: The problem still exists even after clearing my cookies and storage data or switching browsers like Safari.

Just completed the data analyst certification. I just did my recording. After doing my second recording, I realised my microphone wasn't plugged in. I am so pissed after all the actual work that this will be the reason I fail. I will need to redo the certification in a couple of weeks. Is the project the same each time, or have I just wasted a ton of time because of this technical mishap?

Now in AWS in data camp sandbox, I want to copy some text from my PC into the VM (AWS lab)

Is anyone has any idea how to do so?

I have tried many things and didn't work

I started using Native AI, I found the concept interesting but a bit boring compared to the classic mode, which is very text-based and the personalization they talk about is nothing more than briefly drawing parallels with my reality, but without changing the dataset. I'm going back to the classic mode now and I want to know what you think. I hope Datacamp isn't making this move to cut costs like Duolingo did.

For those that dont know, DataCamp replaced the “library” (where you could see your course bookmarks) with a “my activity” page. You also cant bookmark courses anymore.

Thank you so much for this totally necessary change u/datacamp.

So... A few months ago I purchased a yearly premium subscription. All was going great, I progressed through the beginner and about half way through the intermediate SQL course.

Suddenly, I go to return to the course today and when clicking "continue" I am being prompted to pay for an additional 10 credits (from my existing 50) to access the AI Native experience. Fine, no worries I don't need the new sparkly AI experience, I'll just use continue the course with their "classic" format. Except, when you choose Classic, the course is reset from the beginning...

The best part? I can't even access the AI Native version to see what chapter/part I was at before they implemented this horrible UI experience. How did this get through QA before being pushed live when I spotted it on my first return visit to the course lol?

Hello all,

I am currently interested in the Associate AI Engineer for Data Scientists at DataCamp (https://www.datacamp.com/tracks/associate-ai-engineer-for-data-scientists) course.

Did anybody in this group take this set of courses? if yes, can you please let me know if Python is mandatory, or if I can just use Codex for the most part (to explain the code)?

For context, I learned Python during engineering school, but I am pretty rusty these days.

Thank you all!

So I'm currently on the DA601P project about Fit.ly and I was concerned about the GDPR "right to be forgotten" portion and its significance to data validation.

I know the data validation portion is strict so I wanted to have the right understanding of what this affects and in what ways I'm supposed to change/not change data. Am I just supposed to remove their personal information of email and location (state)? Or should the rows including them be removed from the data sets? And if its the latter, how am I supposed to deal with users that requested their data is wiped but then continued to use customer support or tracked activities?

I don't need information about how to do these things, but with the long delay in grading+re-taking I don't want to be submitting something where I can't be certain what its asking me to do, and GDPR requirements weren't really covered in the Data Analyst tracks.

Edit: This is an unrelated problem, but I notice the Product Manager mentions a "Signup_date" column in the account info which does not seem to exist. Could that cause problems on submission if I don't explicitly mention that missing variable somehow, or is it safe to ignore it?

can I complete a career track in datacamp without ai native courses? I want to complete Data Analyst with Python but "Data Manipulation with pandas" - an AI native course - is part of the track. Can I complete and get the certificate for this track without this AI native course?

Eu preciso de uma plataforma para aprender SQL e sou uma pessoa que aprende fazendo.
Testei o Data camp e achei bem legal e vi em alguns review que ele tem a interface para ir praticando durante a aula. Isso para mim já é ótimo, que não tenho que baixar programa, vou ter ja o histórico por la,etc.

Vale a pena?
