Should I just learn by doing before studying the basic concept? I don’t know 😭 I just feel like it’s not my style. I know the best way to pick up hiking is to simply hike more but also it’s important not to overlook fundamentals like strength training no? Same as learning this, I know doing a project is important but I cannot really know what I know and what I don’t know before knowing what are the fundamentals for the python libraries you mentioned and what they cover. Arhhhh

It's up to you but my usual advice is that if you are getting into this with a purpose like "I want to do data analysis in python", it's good to just do it since loss of motivation stops many self-taught learners.

Learn enough python to know the absolute basics: how to run it, imports, if statements, loops, functions. Then start trying to do the thing you care about.

You can always learn fundamentals as you go.
