Data Analysis with Python

You need to first download the free distribution of Anaconda3.  I highly suggest if you are starting python - start with Python 3 (3.4 right now) and make sure you use the python 3 distribution of Anaconda.

From there, if you are not going to pay for or take any courses, I suggest a few books - and read in this order (I am saving you a few months/years that I wasted), 1.) Introducing Python by Bill Lubanovic, this will serve as a good and quick foundation in the language and some of the real-world applications of it.  2.) (This one will look daunting at first but make sure to read it cover to cover if you have never programmed C/C++ before, because this book will explain most of the idiosyncrasies of the language)Learning Python by Mark Lutz - it is Verbose and I am reading it for my 3rd time (not cover to cover anymore, but I will consume a few chapters to refresh my mental syntax understanding). 

After you have read these two books and actually have a solid grip of your understanding of: list comprehensions, generators, decorators - then learn Haskell (not to actually use Haskell daily, but to understand base functional programming).  Then move back to python and use functools and you will have a broader understanding of why Python is an awesome language(OOP, Procedural and Functional) and appreciate many of the semantics of the language that newcomers don't understand without learning other languages.

The data analysis (Python For Data Analysis is the best book I have read on the subject) is built in "batteries included" in Python.  So you really need to learn the language to truly tap into the data aspect fully.

Future of Python

Image
Python was designed by Guido Van Rossum who was a Dutch programmer. It is one of the most favored programming languages used worldwide. Python programming language is dominating other programming languages such as C, C++ or Java. Python is an Object-Oriented, High-Level multi-paradigm programming language with dynamic features. It has undergone more than 25 years of the successful span and it is one of the fastest-growing programming languages. Python itself reveals its success story and a promising future ahead. Python programming language is best used for application development, web application or web development, game development, system administration, scientific computing, etc. Companies using python Google:  The company that needs no introduction, Google.

Lucrative Career in Data Science

Image
Data Science is the study of data. It is about extracting, analyzing, visualizing, managing and storing data to create insights. These insights help the companies to make powerful data-driven decisions. Data Science requires the usage of both unstructured and structured data. It is a multidisciplinary field that has its roots in statistics, math and computer science. Data science in Demand Data Science is greatly in demand. Prospective job seekers have numerous opportunities. It is the fastest-growing job on Linkedin and is predicted to create 11.5 million jobs by 2026. This makes Data Science a highly employable job sector. Abundance of Positions There are very few people who have the required skill-set to become a complete Data Scientist. This makes Data Science less saturated as compared with other IT sectors. Therefore, Data Science is a vastly abundant field and has a lot of opportunities. The field of Data Science is high in demand but low in supply of Data Scientis...

Learning stages of Python

If you are from  Tier 3 college  or some other  private college , you may fight with the confusion created by your college teachers to learn C, C++ then some other language. Semester changes, teacher changes, language changes, concept changes but you see no progress, stuck with new language every time and by the time you coverup basics and new concepts along with assignments, attendance and exams another new semester already waiting at your door. I realized this mess during my 6th semester before placement preparation and started to find every possible solution before I get into bigger troubles. Here is brief what I actually did in  6 month  that changed my life entirely by  spending less than Rs.4000  and gaining knowledge of more than 3 year combined and helping me to get Job offer for  6L–9L as fresher . Follow these  5 Courses in Sequence , you will surely see your progress (Check my Profile Bio for course links)  - 1 . Comp...
