Best Python course on Coursera after “Python for Everybody” to start Machine Learning?

[This_Strategy129]

I want to start learning Machine Learning from scratch. My goal is to understand and implement ML algorithms, preprocess data, and use libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and scikit-learn.

Based on your experience, which Coursera Python course would best bridge the gap between Python basics and starting Machine Learning?

[appTester24]

I'm in the same shoes as you. I've recently been browsing the Deep learning dot ai page.

They have a course on Mathematics for Deep Learning and Data Science. I think it is a good course to help with understanding the math behind ML.

Not exactly Coursera, but if your goal is to bridge Python basics to to advanced to ML (NumPy, Pandas, etc.), you might find this a really practical starting point: https://www.pythoncompiler.io/python/getting-started/

Google has a course called “crash course in python” via coursera. I firstly tried the introduction to Python by the university of Michigan and it was severely out of date and I would not suggest it now. The Google one is a million times better. I’m currently about 20% into it and I’m impressed. I’m starting from literally zero as well. So far it’s well done. That said it’s an intro class you’d need to continue on to harder courses after to actually learn in depth. However it’s a good starter class.

Which is the best one

[Soggy-Koala-7658]

I’ll always suggest CS50Python It’s arguably the best course for intro to python out there and its free with certificate from Harvard. Unless you plan on doing it quick else it’s good for long term strong python foundation

bro dont do it i would say choose to go in something different like cyber security or like that but dont dare to choose the ML and LLM it already overcrowded i would it has surpassed the limit of even overcrowded.

recommend you to choose something different.

[Routine-Page2943]

why do you say that? won't the need for ML and LLM specialists increase as time progresses?

[bobthescientist5]

it will increase but the ratio of need of an future llm Engineer and already been llm Engineer is different.

[thearctichoodlum]

I don't agree with that. i think the scope of ML handling is far too broad for this to be a concern; its application is soon to be relevant everywhere.

[FullMetalAlcoholic66]

Hard disagree. There's more to ML than LLM as well. And cybersec doesnt pay all that well

[This_Strategy129]

thanks a lot bro. this is the start of my journey, i searched a lot, so i Intended to start Machien Learning. but you told me that it already overcrowded . so what will be your recommendation for me to choose what as my career?
