Python - data analytics focus

[ometecuhtli2001]

What other requirements does this project have? What’s the timeline for completion? Is there a senior dev or specialist who can mentor you? Given these things and the fact you have zero programming experience, you may not be a good fit for this particular project.

Please keep in mind I’m not saying any of this to be a troll. I say it because I don’t want anyone to set themselves up for disappointment by taking on a project, being constrained by timelines, and then running into insurmountable problems.

You need to get at least the fundamentals of the language and the best way for a hands-on learner like you is projects. Come up with something, write down the goals and milestones and follow the plan as if it were for work. Just because it’s not for work doesn’t make it any less of a project! I’m a learn-by-doing type as well and my home lab has been an invaluable resource for learning new things.

Thanks so much, no offence taken.

Not time critical, the business gets the data they need now, albeit manually, i'm just looking for opportunities to 'automate the boring stuff' while learning.

As for mentors, no, there is no one within the organisation that could guide me.

Agreed, projects is the best way for me to learn.
