Hi guys,

I am new to Python 3, but already started to learn and code some very basic programs with python (mostly beginner friendly tasks from text books etc). However, my real task is to write a code which tries to predict the likes of an instagram photo, based on Followers, popularity of the instagram account etc.
I would like to know what you guys recommend where to begin to master this task. In general which tutorials or guides I should look into. As far as I know a Linear Regression model could work, that would have been my first starting point. But some more input would be highly appreciated, since I feel slightly overwhelmed still by programming in general and I can't anticipate how hard this assignment will be.
Thanks in advance!
Just so that you know, Instagram is starting to hide likes from its platform
