I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.

Great introduction to data science. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get a general background as to what data science is, who can be a data scientist, and how to get involved in data science.
