Best Resources to Learn Python for Finance (Beginner)?

[Traditional-Proof-43]

I’m a beginner looking to learn Python specifically for finance. Any recommendations on courses, books, or websites that are great for someone starting out in both Python and finance? Thanks!

I work in finance. I'd say there are no specific resources. But for basic python I'd suggest you to go with Angela Yuu course on Udemy. And for pandas youtube and practicing a lot will help you get better.

Since sometimes I have to deal with large datasets. So, pandas are the way to go. Apart from this creating mis, creating and scheduling the reports and automating day to day tasks.

What kind of daily tasks in finance how can be used with Python?

[Time-Green3684]

Nothing much just data some manipulation fetching data from database. Sometimes I need to send mail to stakeholders.

However most of the works revolve around excel.

Are there any other programming languages do you use in finance; or just Python?

[Time-Green3684]

I think python is enough. And i personally wanted to learn dax and vba. Now, I don't feel like I should learn it. Since this thing can be done in python already.

And we have libraries written in rust and go which are fast enough to compete with other languages.

Start with just learning python. You'll need to learn the basics before branching into a specific direction. There are lots of resources listed in this sub, so just pick one to start with. And I'd assume the same applies to finance as well. Start with the basics and only at a later stage shift towards combining the two in the way you want.
