How NOT to learn Python for Data Science

(My recommended courses that I took to learn Python!)

What up data nerds, in this short video I discuss how I failed at learning Python when I first started. Additionally, I go into my key takeaways from my failure and how I moved forward in successfully learning this great language for data analysis/science.

One important thing you didn't talk about is having a specific field you're interested in. In my case, I am a geographer and I learned python in relation to spatial data analysis. It helped me keep focused and interested

I worked at multiple retail store for 5 years, and im on my late 20's, i really started looking in to my future and i think data science or software engineering is a great profession for my skillset, it just sparked me to learn again thank you

Thank you for the videos. You are really motivating me. Keep up the great content and stay healthy. I just did “Hello World” on python after putting of learning coding for a year. Feels absolutely great to start this journey.

Hey Luke, thanks for all your content, just wanted to leave my message that you are a great motivation for a young Brazilian with seventeen years old, looking to improve every day. Success always.

Keep it up Luke, nice to see some fresh perspectives in the data science YouTube community.

Cheers.

Great video!!!! I’m just starting my journey and I am following your suggestion . So far, it is going good

I know this is an old video, but I thought I would still comment. The CS50 python course by Harvard is free to take, if you want the cert is costs around 200$ but you can still take the course for free, which is amazing imo.

I don't think it is the failure of learning python. it is just a phase of adulting. Realizing that anything grandiose is built on a small accomplishment. I have been doing the same way like but I did it in R.

It's just "jango", the D is silent. "DuhJango" has me rolling though. :-P Nice video

[shuntera]

Did I miss your mention of Book you recommend?

hello, what about data analyst certificate from GOOGLE and IBM? are they worth it?

[unique]

this is exactly how I feel somedays but I keep pushing though I'm in a bootcamp right now so I kinda have to keep plugging away atleast I don't get that frustrated just kind of down.

[Vanalovan]

This video taught me how to learn Python. From the title I was hoping to learn how NOT to learn Python. One star 😡

THANK YOU VERY MUCH LUKE, , , ,IM LEARNING A LOT EVENTHOUGH MY ENGLISH IS NOT THAT GOOD ..., MY GOLA IS TO LEARN DATA SCIENCE AND LAND A REMOTE JOB

[evanshlom]

Contributing is a great way to learn. Ie teaching. Great point

Hello Luke, i really enjoy your videos and you really inspired me to learn excel and sql. I got a question, do you need to be proficient in coding to become a data scientist?

Grt I hope you hv got sponsors now.... :)
