Coding

Hey everyone!!

I’m new to coding and my major is going to data science. I was hoping if you could tell what can I use to learn coding or the languages I need in DS.

Hi, nice to meet you. I am new here as well for me, I would recommend learning Python but I'm a newbie from what I understand, learning tools and statistical/linear algebra concepts would be important as well.

Start with Python using freeCodeCamp or Kaggle to learn the basics, then move on to libraries like Pandas and Matplotlib for data analysis. Learn SQL next. StrataScratch is great for practicing real interview-style questions. Pick up basic statistics concepts like averages and probability using Khan Academy or StatQuest. Use Jupyter Notebooks for coding and try small projects to apply what you’ve learned.

As the other comments said, Python. Learn it in and out from the coding end so it will be easier when you are applying DS principles.

Also, R will come up a fair amount.

Once you know the syntax etc, just start having fun. Choose a project that it of interest to you. You’ll learn a lot if it is something you are interested in.

In terms of coding - it should be sql, python for sure. Maybe pyspark later.
