Hi everyone,
I am a beginner in python programming, I have known basic python programming. And I want to learn python to find a job in data analysis filed, I don't know any programming language before. Anybody in here can help me to find the way for learning python? Do I need to the algorithm and data structure? If anyone have any document or any link, please share to me!
Thank all guys so much!
You would need a strong foundation in core Python, including algorithms, data structures, and commonly used modules. You would then need solid knowledge of the data analysis packages, starting with numpy, pandas, and matplotlib.
To add to what ichabod had to say, I think most data analysis is done by folks with a masters degree in the relevant field. For example, I have a BS in computer science (relevant) and on-the-job experience with data engineering (I work with data scientists), but I'm nowhere near qualified for doing serious data analysis.
