Newbie to Python - Where to start

[lasek723]

Hi all,

I am excited to start my python journey - geared towards data science.

I am looking for some guidance on where to start - I am a marketer, who uses Google analytics and other data insights. I want to understand and learn python to help progress me in my career. I have no prior knowledge of coding.

I have just signed up to Datacamp (free 2 month trial). Is DC a good place to start?

I would love to hear your thoughts on where I should start and welcome any advice :-).

Thanks

Can look at Python Data Science Handbook is free and also in Notebooks format.
A list we have here.

Hi all,

I am new to Python - no programming previously.

Working with analytics, I want to safe guard my future by understanding data analytics/data science with Python.

I have signed up to Datacamp and currently completing their modules.

However, I would like to take my study further and not rely on Datacamp. What areas should I investigate further into. All help would be appreciated :-)

What platforms/systems should i download to practice writing code.

Thanks
