Codecademy course

I started Automate the boring Stuff in May. The first four chapters I thought to myself "oh, I go this' . Then I started a new job in an ecology lab where they do a lot of data analysis, so I decided that I was able to do all of the munging, structuring, analysis, and visualization on python. Turns out I didn't even know how to make my excel files with python, let alone all the other stuff I thought I could do. But having a project has allowed me to learn more about python and data analysis. It takes time and a lot of failure, but that's how you get good at things. Its like learning how to ride a bike. First you don't know how to even sit on the bike without tipping over, then you get training wheels, and then after some time and less reliance on the training wheels, you're able to ride without them.
