365 Data Science is making all of their courses free until April 15. They have a variety of courses across R, Python, SQL, and more. Their platform also has courses that give a great mathematical foundation behind machine learning, which helps you a lot as you get deeper into data science. They also have courses on deep learning, which is a hot field right now.
