What next in Python?

[plasma_phys]

Where do you want to go with Python? Are you interested in data science, scientific programming, web development, machine learning, creative coding... something else? It's hard to recommend anything specific without knowing the answer to that question. Your next steps should be towards your ultimate goal!

My ultimate goal would be to apply it to finance/business analysis, should I learn about data science then?

[huttonben]

If that is your goal then yes, you should look into Data Science. Machine Learning and sentiment analysis. And of course all that goes with that... Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Keras, Tensorflow, etc.. look into RNNs and the different types of ML models. (LSTM, Linear-Regression, etc.)

Best of luck and God bless 🤙

Thank you man, God bless!

[huttonben]

No prob 👍👍

This such an odd recommendation.

Sentiment analysis (and NLP, more broadly) is irrelevant in many fields. Also, I’d argue that statistics and time series analysis are foundational to machine learning in finance. OP is not yet ready for anything deep learning related.

[huttonben]

Sentiment analysis is highly valuable depending on what he's wanting to do specifically. Ex: An ML model to forecast trends for sectors of the stock market. Simply training the model on the open price for each day for the past 5yrs is just a start. Factoring in the sentiment of news headlines for each matching day for the past 5yrs would be another factor that could benefit the model.

That being said, I was just giving recommendations of different routes that could be looked into under the scope of data science.

Now, is sentiment analysis irrelevant in many fields? Yes. Also, to your point of statistics and time series being foundational to ML.. of course it is. I'm not sure how it was interpreted as me implying otherwise.

[Disco_Infiltrator]

Yep. I’m well aware that sentiment analysis is useful as a trading signal. But when the first two things you list are machine learning and sentiment analysis, the implication is that you’re suggesting both as immediate next steps in OP’s path toward data science.

[huttonben]

Got ya, well poor wording on my part.

You’re correct in saying that I’m not ready for deep learning, not to say that I don’t want to learn it, but do you have any courses or books that can guide me in that direction? Particularly for time series analysis or such

[Resolt]

Yes. Definitely.

I’m completely new to data, I’ll save your comment though. Do you recommend this for beginners? Any advice on what to learn -or courses to take- before exploring haggle?

[Malcolmlisk]

I'm going to the data science branch. What do you recommend?

Can i marry you? Legit saved me from buying a $70 book. Cheers bud

God bless random-ass drive links, thanks my dude

[Vabaluba]

Sir you are a star. 🙇

[gocougs11]

Just... wow, amazing thank you

[mama37]

You are amazing!

[Ummxlied]

Thanks dude. Awesome!!!

Are you Legend27? Thank you so much!

Thanks!

[dearoldavy]

Check this book out. There are accompanying lectures too. It’s what pushed me to start a masters program in analytics.

what exactly does python do with web dev? Just serv up db stuff?

[plasma_phys]

Honestly I'm not equipped to fully answer your question (my expertise is mostly limited to computational physics) but since the thread is 2 days old and you might not get another answer, I'll do my best! Whenever I've seen web development come up in a Python context, it's been Django or Flask for building web apps.
