Is Kaggle Intro ML worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 79Choose it if
You know basic Python and want a quick, free, hands-on first look at machine learning.
Consider alternatives if
You want depth: Kaggle's Intermediate Machine Learning course is the next step, and the Machine Learning Specialization from Stanford and DeepLearning.AI goes much further.
Why we say so
Fast, free and practical, it is a good way to find out whether machine learning suits you; the certificate records completion rather than competence.
Market demand
Not a hiring credential; Kaggle competition results and projects are what employers notice.
