• Best courses for aspring Data Analysts on Udemy? (No computer science background). Any recommendations?

  I am using Dataquest to learn Python for Data Science there. I also got a book from O'Riley called Data Science Handbook and the Automating the Boring Stuff with Python book. SQL is good to know and comes in handy. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Seeking Advice On A Coding Bootcamp

  Waste of time IMO. I'm a former data science senior manager (switching back to non-manager track). Download some example csv's and teach yourself Tableau Public -- fairly easy to learn and lots of helpful youtube video's. You can publish them to start a project portfolio. Try setting up a mysql database using the popular northwind database and try connecting to it via a GUI like SQLWorkbench to practice your SQL... Source: about 2 years ago

• Stuck in a dead end blue collar job but have always dreamed of working in IT but have no idea where to start.

  I was an electrician for about 10 years. Got sick of the work and environment and knew I needed to get out. I did part of the freecodecamp.org course, and learned the basics of javascript, HTML, and CSS. I then dabbled in Python at dataquest.io and datacamp.com but realised I wasn't interested in data science. However, I learned Python had more versatility than analytics. After 8 months of playing with Python I... Source: over 2 years ago

• I'm new to python and have been struggling quite a bit, is that a bad sign?

  I'm still a relatively new coder, but every day I feel like I learn something new.

• Career change advice/thoughts

  I started a computer science degree a few years ago (almost finished), and initially considered I'd use it to get a data science role (but now prefer software development). I did a few months worth of courses on dataquest.io and think it would be a perfect way for you to get data analytics skills while only paying about $30 USD a month. You end up doing a tonne of stuff for your portfolio and I ended up adding... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Stressing Out Learning Outside of Work

  Thanks for your response. I don't think that it is the having enough time that's the issue. I think often times I fall into analysis paralysis and just don't know what to learn. That's when I start to spiral and quit. I think for now I am going to stick to a planned learning course like what dataquest.io provides. It reduces the burden of having to plan my learning for myself. In that setting I think I can commit... Source: about 3 years ago

• Is coursera a good place to start?

  Depending upon how good your Python skills are, I really recommend dataquest.io. It teaches Python from scratch and does a deep dive on Numpy & Pandas. It then covers a Data Science pathway that covers the scikit-learn library in-depth and more high level coverage of other areas (inc. Spark). The whole pathway is 250 hrs and last I checked was about $30-50 pcm (cheaper annual package). Source: about 3 years ago
