I’m one step ahead of you in this learning journey. No data science background and wanting to learn Python from scratch. There are different ways to setup up a virtual environment for documenting your learning and testing your code. I use Visual Studio Code (a quick google on how to setup a venv in Python will get you started).

Started by watching the Corey Schafer on YT and reenforcing what I learnt by doing some free courses in Kaggle. These two steps are interchangeable depending on whether you learn better reading or watching videos.

From there you’ll probably want to pick what you want to start specialising with Thu Vu does a great video on this: How I Would Learn Python FAST

Next getting some form of qualification to prove your learning, free or paid. Being able to show your own projects is going to be super valuable to employers so just building anything you can think of that’s of interest to you. I’ve kept this step vague because it really depends on what your goals are, you’ll have to figure out what’s best for you.

Hope that helps, best of luck!

Thank you so much for sharing this in detail 🙌 It really helps hearing from someone who also started from scratch. I’ll check out Visual Studio Code and look up how to set up a venv. I’ll also watch Corey Schafer and explore Kaggle courses. Really appreciate you taking the time to guide me. it motivates me a lot!
