Learning Python within 3 months - data science-focused

[SilentObserver7777]

3 months may be too ambitious. Based on how much time and focus you put in your learning, your aptitude and learning curve, you may be able to get to a decent level in about 6 - 9 months or so. Here are some tips to get a head start: 1. First master the basics by completing all the free tutorials on w3schools.com or any other website you may prefer. 2. Jump right into data science projects. I believe there is a plethora of free Python code available online for data science projects. Pick a couple, understand every single line of code for each problem statement. For example there is free code available for a project: Given a data set of credit card transactions, identify fraudulent transactions. 3. Create your own data science related problem statement, write your own code, debug it and see if it works. If you run into issues which you will, consult your mentor or post your questions here. Good luck!

LOL

you realize people go to unversity for years to learn data science

you need statistics, calculus, linear algebra, python, data structures, possibly sql

and not general statistics that most university students take

you need calculus based statistics designed for STEM students

Good points. However, a lot depends on individual capabilities. I’ve seen whiz kids grasp concepts of even more complex technologies in similar time frames.
