if you want to start as a fresher to python programming and you need solid basics

I would recommend

Automate the boring stuff with python(2015)
by
Al swelgart.

You can download online for free

it's by far one of the easiest to understand and soft book for beginners, several python programmers can attest to that, it also has project and exercises per Chapter..
Also practise along side Using a python IDE.
pycharm, jupyter book n Co.. if need modules you can download Anaconda it contains several libraries.

bros the python video is about 5gig and the mysql is about 3 gig total of about 8 gig just use the money for mb to transport yourself to sagamu and get it from lagos to sagam u no go spend pass 2500 to and flow but if u want to download it hmmm you know how much u go spend and me no fit dey waste mb to upload that kind large file online ooo maybe i will search if i still have the torrent meta data

I really can't say Sir. I will suggest you search for video tutorials on YouTube, you can also download some books on basics of python. They would serve as guides in your learning path. You can also register for online courses on basics of python if you wouldn't mind the cost.
I can vividly recall I started with videos and books. I started from scratch to working with loops, arrays in python, then I registered for a professional online exam for python beginners of which I performed averagely well. Most of the exam questions were focused on syntax and loops. After this, I registered for an online course in data science. Still running the course currently though. I'm not a guru, but I am always happy remembering the hurdles and the little things learned so far. Don't rush it!

Guys... Please feel free to review my progress on Power BI

mcemmy0z:


Most companies boldly stated it in there requirements that they need Business intelligence tools especially power BI, check out most of their job advertisement.
Although python and R can do most of that visualization stuff, but to some length, and you can't compare how rapidminner and weka will handle machine learning to python, in the aspect of deep learning and prediction.
Combination of all these tools makes you a data scientist. And it will give you more edge about other using one tool.
Mostly i use Excel to check out my files if there is any error, then I will pass it to python for preprocessing, cleaning, removing NaN, melting columns, do some calculations etc, export it to SQL, and do some queries, then I use tabuleau and power BI for visualization and data mining, if am to predict I will pass it to gretl or rapidminner.

Toppytek:


Awesome and cool

yemyke001:



Please @ mcemmy0z, why do you need to import your data into MYSQL for querying when you can actually query your data with pandas after preprocessing.? Since your data is on file format already. Please kindly shed more light biko

mcemmy0z:


Every tools has their dominance, you can't compared python and SQL together in the aspect of queries. SQL is dedicated for query, when it comes to joining (self joins, left and right joins, inner joins) different tables together from different databa, creating parameters, setting up variables e.g global variable, don't think python can handle that well.

Guys pls I need help o,I downloaded a set of data on global Corona virus cases,from Jan till may first,but I noticed the value of new cases are added to the previous day cases just like Jan 1 = 10,Jan 2=15 i.e 5 new cases this goes on till may first.

when I converted the data to pivot table the total value got over bloated,imagine getting global case as 76 million,cos of repetition ,pls how can I get the figures for only the changes in new cases so that I can get the actual figure after summing everything.

I do hope someone help out.This is Excel..

Guys,I have an Idea,can we create a WhatsApp group where we can easily reach each other,or if there is any existing group for data science pls kindly signify to add members...

Hi everyone I am wondering if there is any need to learn the plotly library as I can use matplotlib and seaborn for data visualization

Walkingkilo:



I feel you bro. I just finished learning the basics.. I'm on the data science proper, trying to find my bearings. I'd like to know which online tutorial you registered with for the online courses in data science

Ejiod:
How many of you guys have been in this situation

ibromodzi:

Creating a Whatsapp group would defeat the purpose of creating this thread. This is a thread that has a lot of resources embedded in it, that anyone can come across it on the web and benefit from it (as long as Nairaland exists).
