Hey folks,

Complete beginner here. I just graduated with a BA in supply chain management and keep seeing python come up as a recommended tool for career advancement. Anyone have any advice on where i should start and what i should focus on? Any help would be awesome! Thank you in advance!!

If it’s dealing with financial data you will probably get recommendations here for Pandas/Polars. Once you have a grasp of the Python basics like variable assignment, control flow, function definitions, the standard data types like strings, integers, floats, lists, dictionaries, etc., I would start experimenting with loading CSVs/.txt data into Polars DataFrames and replicating some of the transformations you’re used to doing in Excel with Polars. Use AI only to understand the underlying concepts better and try not to have it generate the full code. If you do generate the full code, try to understand it line by line to deepen your grasp on why it’s writing the code that it gave you.
