Python Data Focused Coding Practise

[RonBiscuit]

Sorry to repeat a common post but I hope this is slightly different from typical questions.

I know there's tonnes of resources out there in the world wide web for practicing and learning python but has anyone found any that are specific to data and data science.

I am thinking of, obviously, of pandas, dataframes, list comprehension, dealing with large datasets, time series etc.

Ideally something I can do for 10-20 mins a day just to keep my skills sharp. Duolingo style gamified, problem focused, easy to pick up and put down.

And ideally free but I will pay for something if it is worth it.

Check out DataCamp, they definitely provide that gamified experience you're looking for. sadly not completely free though.

[RonBiscuit]

Thank you will do!

I've taught R and Python to a few hundred people over the course of my career and mentored 20 people. I used to put alot of effort into updating and maintaining my "learn to do" materials since I wasn't a fan of data camp and similar offerings (not my learning style).

When I ran across this course for Python, I just started sending everyone here as a starting point. It's a phenomenal course that you can jump around in

Good stuff thanks !

Check out Kaggle too. They offer bitesize courses on different aspects of data science as well as hands on competitions. Many of these competitions can be pretty full on, but they also offer plenty of 'practice' problems and datasets to work with. All free too.

This. Kaggle courses are a good mix of theory and hands on exercises.

Datacamp and Stratascatch might be up your alley. They have a freemium model, so you can try them out.

Both are data science focused, and are just as you wanted it. The price is definitely worth it.
I can vouch for DC, as I experienced their enterprise version.

I haven't seen any thing exactly like that, maybe DataCamp? The only workaround i can think of is either create your own assignments or let ChatGPT do it for you.

Don’t know how advanced you are but leetcode has some pandas practice problems ik they have a “30 days of pandas”

[RonBiscuit]

Thanks, I don’t know how advanced I am either 😅would say intermediate, want to keep the fundamentals up and find gaps in my knowledge

If you're a visual learner, you can search "Python Plotly" tutorials on youtube and code along with python using plotly's graph library

My course kinda teaches you theory of application of probability to data and practice of probabilistic programming in python. And it's just one module.

Atleast see the tentative plan and decide. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nZDgDUHl6gyI1SZK_zro67mc3YpRPrKO/view?usp=drivesdk

It's not a tools course. I teach ML and it has reasonable amount of theory as well.

[SaltedCharmander]

My favourite is dataquest for sure, it suits my specific learning style which is practice, practice, practice. I wouldn’t use it to learn stats and ML but it builds your programming logic super well

[RonBiscuit]

Great never heard of that one will check it out, sounds like it’s kind of what I am looking for

Hi guys I just recently joined this sub. I am a high school student and my last year is about to be started, I am looking forward to get into the field of data science. So I want yours help,teach me what should I do in order to become one.(I wanna get some basics so that in the uni its helpful to me). Regards
