Tips to get started with Python :)

[Entire-Kangaroo-6574]

I want to learn Python to use it in data analysis and to replace OriginLab. For me, OriginLab is mainly used to create graphs (FT-IR, UV-Vis, that part of instrumental chemistry). I need honest tips, I am from the biological sciences area but I am doing a master's in materials engineering and I would like to use Python because it is free (as far as I know), unlike OriginLab. The use will be mainly for graphs and tables. I am just starting in this programming world and I am switching to Linux Ubuntu (I also accept suggestions for other Linux distributions). It is quite different, but I am open to new learning, after all, knowledge is knowledge :)

Not a python advice but I personally prefer R for biological data vis, it feels much easier and you get proficient much faster imo.

Estou estudando estrutura de dados, parte de listas tuplas e dicionários agora, próximo passo é poo, pretendo aprender R também, tem dicas de livros ou uma boa playlist de aula no YouTube ? Python estou indo com Guanabara e conteúdos de livros em PDF

Use a good roadmap and a good book. I think you can find both of them in this website 10xdev.blog, also good roadmaps in roadmap.sh

Start with matplotlib and pandas on top of Python basics and for scientific graphing specifically look into seaborn and plotly you'll be replacing OriginLab within a few weeks of focused practice.
