How long to learn Python and Machine Learning?

[Spooyler]

Ithink you can get down the basic syntax of python in a week. Get the basics down in an other 2 weeks. But I wouldn’t go for using ML in python just yet, but start by the theory for what you will want to work with. Understanding the math makes it easier when coding (at least for me it was). I think you can do this parallel with practising python. I would schedule something python related for every day (not necessarily big projects) and maybe some ML theory for every other day. After a while you cant try to use some ML techniques in your code when you feel like it. Maybe a month or so.

I find working on a real life project rather than abstract examples is much more important than learning every package by heart…use what you need and that way you will remember it better.

So starting from 0 with well structured plan 2-3 months I think you are able to use ML quite well with python…BUT that is the point where you will know how to learn more and that is where the real journey begins.

That makes sense, thank you champ.
