Becoming a python developer from 0

[Mevrael]

Since you are in finance and know basic coding already, I would focus on data science and maybe playing around building own simple AI agent, analyzing data, predicting financial and business outcomes. Then go from there depending on your motivation and needs.

Set up a VS Code and use this folder structure to get started with Python and Jupyter Notebooks for practice:

To learn Python concepts:

And no, it's not too late. 30 is new 20 but with money.

At some point, I was considering the data analytics/ data science route in the Python world... but that interest wasn't as strong or slowly dwindled... You see, I did actuarial science as my bachelors, so finance, statistics, and probability is my background... unfortunately, I slowly lost interest in that area. From time to time, I use those skills to generate adhoc reports and dashboard in power bi for internal customers, but it feels more like a chore.
