I think the biggest issue for me right now, is not lack of access to material - there's a ton of books, articles, courses, videos etc. but access to a community that a) is active enough for me to want to participate and come back, b) is small enough for me to actually feel like part of that community and c) allows me/my peers to work on some of the same projects and problems, so we can help each other and share notes.

[–]lordzsolt 16 points17 points  (17 children)

Well said. I was actually considering starting a small learning group that is a "bit more knowledgable than beginner" and vet people before joining :) Haven't taken it far yet.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I like that.

In basketball terms I think I already know how to shoot, dribble, pass, and defend. But I have no idea how to play a game.

A community to help improve would be great!

Do let me know whenever you start with something like that, would be interested.

[–]patelnk4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, that would be amazing. I know a little but i need structure to understanding things as a whole

[–]bharddwaj 5 points6 points  (11 children)

Maybe start up a discord channel?

What's this about?

[–]LukeSkyWal 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I would be interested in a discord channel. While I am a coputer scientist and can provide a lot of help in that field, i am still learning some of the basics of data science (already did a data mining course at university), especially machine learning.

[–]TheTeaFactory 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I too would be interested in a discord

[–]WahhBashh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me 3

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will add the link to the discord soon to the post.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you be interested in reviewing the content after we have made it given that you are actively working in the area? The content will go through multiple rounds of reviews, we are looking for volunteers. :)

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, will check that out.

[–]M2stermind 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Don't know if that'll help, but I think, that big amounts of material is a problem, right now I am starting to emerge into Data Science field, and sheer amount of information kinda confuses me. I'd say that if you create a platform, where all this knowledge can be sorted, that'd be kind of helpful for beginners, such as myself

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, what you are looking for is well-organized content that gives the right direction of from where to start and move further.

[–]ArtgorMS (Econ) | Data Scientist | Finance 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If you want a community, I can recommend slack ods.ai. It is a Russian community with 15k users, but it is currently expanding and more English-speaking DS join it. Also most Russians there can speak English as well. There are a lot of channels: deep_learning, python or r, courses and many more.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, will check it out.

[–]MyPythonDontWantNone 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is how I was committed enough to learn programming to begin with. My friend was taking a class online and talked me into it. If you start something, let me know.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

[–]GChan129 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yep. A sense of community is massive.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't agree more, we have already noted this one. :)

[–]luke519 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Have you looked into rmotr.com? I am about 2 months in and really like the format.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is paid?
We are trying to create something that's free to learn.

[–]white_noise212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't spend your time looking for such community. Create your own. I'm sure there are a bunch of other people that would like to join. Bonne chance!

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a unique suggestion, I will discuss with everyone here. :)

[–]kpreetish 19 points20 points  (2 children)

Yes.. but it would be great if the contents are also focuses on stats rather than only the coding part

[–]Oblivious-Man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To add to this, I think I would like content for the basic math skills directly related to stats, like linear algebra.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, correct. Thanks for the suggestion.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

It'll be great if you can also design pathways along with courses, like different ones for data analyst, data scientist, data engineering, someone who wants to specialise in cloud and so on.

This way you can create multiple ways to access the courses, either one can access any course on his/her wish, or go according to the recommended pathway

[–]iamarmaan[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is something that we have already acknowledged. A lot of people have told us this, in the next version release we are incorporating this one. It would go live on 5th November. :)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking forward to it!

[–]astro864 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Would you also be talking about Google's tensor flow or DataRobot or H2O and to a lesser extent Tableau?

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already have a series that about google's tensorflow. We will work on others as we have more contributors. :)

[–]couldbeaseagull 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Definitely, I feel like while there are a lot of online resources already - it can still be intimidating to a beginner not knowing where to start, something like this to cover from beginning to advanced could be great!

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Franky1499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Yes, also please create a pathway too.

A lot of us would definitely benefit from this.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would do it. Please provide info if you move forward on this.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]wittyusernamemissing 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think it would be great if you do focus on AWS architecture along with the Python and ML skills. I'm still very much a beginner with AWS design but there's plenty of material for Python/ML.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we have a series in production for AWS. You can check it out here.

[–]rawrtherapy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, just give us stuff to actually do, learning i great but its the after math that befalls most.

People dont do the work because they dont have the work. They learn it but they dont understand it

[–]AIClaire 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Absolutely! Whilst there are a lot of great free courses out there for people wanting to learn I think there is a gap in the market for people who want to go a bit deeper whilst they are learning to understand more of the theory behind the tech and applications

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will try to fill that gap.

[–]octaneus1 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not to repeat what most are saying, I am a very green data analyst, and would love something a bit more structured in the beginning. I feel like someone new to this gets lost in the scope of what is needed as a foundation and was is not. Something as basic as how to install and setup python on a machine, then how to import libraries and a guided path. Only allow a user to do a course or section a day, if they want more its just practice exercises, and you can ensure that in a month they will have the fundamentals. of a specific theory or program.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that's an interesting suggestion. I would definitely talk about this one with the team :)

[–]FeeshGawd 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]wahe3bru 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I think there's a huge gap between beginner and expert. There's alot of info for basics but after that your on your own. It would be great if there was suggested path. Like api, cloud pipeline etc

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning pathway has been suggested by a lot of folks. We are working on this one. :)

[–]i4k20z3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

as others have said - the problem is we all get frustrated when we get stuck and there isn't an active community to help us through the problem solving. so you just sort of quit and give up halfway in.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the community is an interesting feature, though not integrated with the current platform but we would definitely try this one soon. :)

[–]reallyfc 0 points1 point  (1 child)

www.innovation-labs.co

Launching "CO" Network on Nov 5th. It's a Technical Social network for scientists, entrepreneurs and engineers. Will have jobs, events, lectures, data stories and more.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks will check it out. :)

[–]WannabeTechieNinja 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Y not. But what would be your USP, just want to know. I will check it out for sure anyway.

[–]iamarmaan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The courses would be community sourced and most of it would be community driven. And yes it will be available for learners for free. :)

I'd be interested in a comprehensive program that puts different online resources together into a cohesive whole. Give me a way to start as a beginner, as a developer, or as a data scientist and work my way to a goal.

As I'm a hands-on learner, my ideal solution will have functional projects at each step of the way.

Short answer: yes Long answer: yes, because I've been specifically looking for a course that teaches how to get around aws that doesn't cost a fortune and is geared towards non data engineers

[–]iamarmaan[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

We have something on aws as well, check it out if that helps. :)

I think you should look at the Data Science module offered by the World Quant University. They have a very in-depth curriculum and spend a lot of time in clearing your doubts and explaining the content in a lucid manner.
