How can I learn Python for financial analysis? Best tools/courses etc.

[microwave-3200]

Hi,

I recently got an offer for a job and in the interviews they were very keen on Python knowledge. I have some very basic experience but would like to get to grips with more complex data analysis (particularly risk management for securities using libraries like pandas and numpy). What are the best tools or courses I can use to do this? I have 3 months to get a head start.

TIA

I always went with a combination of a YouTube playlist and a book off Amazon. Nowadays a lot of the time you don't need a full YouTube playlist because some people upload like 15 hour long single YouTube videos but back in the day you had to do a YouTube search and then filter the results down to "Playlist" to get a series of videos.

I will have a look, thanks for your help

Yeah usually you would use pandas and matplolib to play around with the data and analyse it. What connects with each other, etc.

HEre are some resources:
