After my mobile app development journey with flutter, I am learning data science. Your thread has motivated me

Johnny32:
I am really happy to be in this thread, Thanks to all here. I just finished studying mathematics in school and I started learning data science during this period with sololearn app.
I am already progressing and I am learning a lot of things fast(I have foundation in maths,statistics and computer science) using about at least six hours each day in learning python, excel, power bi, machine learning, mysql e.t c from different sources Any recommendations and advice would be useful

Why not learn them sequentially ( one after the other) ??...so while learning the next course, you can take time to practice the one's you are done with...
Anyways i'll advice you to learn python as a whole first before going into its data science libraries ( i.e learn both python for web dev. And Data analysis..)...Add Tableau to the list too..
Also, Remove ML from the list till you are grounded in python data science libraries( numpy , pandas and co.)....
Finally, save up and get a system to enable you practice alot....DONT JUST LEARN, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

Yes, it's possible to just assess the raw file directly using this link

Bro can you throw more light on the bolded?
There are some courses that introduce Python and their libraries and then apply it to Data Science.

Do you mean it is not a good approach?

1) Some matplotlib projects would need you to define functions, create class and return certain values....Also Advanced Python Pandas ( interactive analysis) would need you to define functions too and maybe use the "LAMBDA" function and other functions....I DONT THINK going directly into python data science libraries teaches explicitly how these stuffs works...
2) it gives you a fundamental knowledge of web development using python and if you later decide to get some knowledge about web development, it wont be hard..

I've tried scraping NL website to get your exact dataset but ive only had luck with links and title. i think i should be able to scrape author too from each thread. i want to understand the concept behind the sections column and the last two columns(frontpagedate and posteddate) because nairaland doesn't group posts by date and time. ive completed BS4 documentaion but i still don't know how to go about it.

I got a best-score of 82% for this competition, who else got something better biko

I'm done with Python basics (functions, lists, tuples, dictionaries, conditional statements). Am I good to move to data science libraries?

Nope..not yet...
What of loops, lambda, hierachies, class, map, reduce, generators, iterators e.t.c....
Note: i'm not saying you'll need all of these...but i advice you learn them...
In matplotlib and pandas, you'll need them bcz you'll be defining functions and you might have to use one or more of those stuffs i listed above

How long did it take you to learn all this?

Less than a month.I've done loops but the book I'm using (automate the boring stuff) doesn't have lambda, heriachies, class, map, reduce, generators and iterators. Any recommendation?

Raalsalghul:


Hmmm, same as you here. Though I intend to learn the basics for 3 months before going into its libraries.

I used a guy named Navin Reddy of Telusko( channel name)....
I think Brad traversy was mentioned earlier in this thread but i dont know how deep he went cz i dint use him...
I prefer watching videos to reading books...so i cant recommend books

Evanspaul:

Bro I need ur help with something. Sent u a pm

BoleAndFish:
3 months? That's too much for just basics.

Raalsalghul:

Is it? I believe in using different sources and truth be told I've learnt the basics you posted up there, but i still feel inadequate.
Way way inadequate.

BoleAndFish:
You'll perfect everything as you grow. Even established programmers reference learning materials once in a while.

Abcruz:


You can never know everything in Python because no one does. As you begin to apply your knowledge on end to end projects, you'll understand more of that which you think you don't know.

I learnt Python basics for about 3weeks before moving on to it's libraries.

BoleAndFish:
I want to move to either libraries or sql. Which is better to touch first?

someone pls help me, I just finished mysql tutorials videos now, what's the next phase to continue with
