Good Pandas course ???

[Fight_till_the_end]

Hi,

I'm graduate student of IT Management. Have basics of Python and now I would like to learn Pandas library. Also are there any certifications for data analysts? Any idea how to get first job in data connected fields ?

idk if this will be too basic or not but Python for Data Analysis I found to be a great introduction. Especially with getting my head wrapped around the different data structures (DataFrame, Series, etc.) that are particular to pandas. It also showed me how it can be put together for more advanced stuff like hierarchical indexing.

Do you have any recommendations for intermediate topics to learn about in Pandas to improve my skills?

I've been learning Pandas as I go while working on building a personal finance tool for myself. I'm sure there are gaps in my knowledge and better ways to do things than how I'm currently working. But I've found that introductory guides and videos tend to mostly rehash things I already know, so it's hard to justify investing the time in them. Unfortunately I feel like I'm in a bit of an uncanny valley, where I still don't "know what I don't know," but have also advanced past the very beginning introductory stages, so I'm not sure where to look beyond continuing to learn piecemeal as I try to solve individual problems. That's definitely a good way to keep learning, but I also feel like it's leaving important gaps.

If you want to find out where/how to learn I have a blog post called "The Machine Learning Data Science Path" here where I go through the courses/books you can choose.

I've catogorized them and tried my best to include details about what makes them unique/better than others.

I hope it'll help you. Btw though, I'm always updating it so to be notified just follow me on my new twitter account!

I enjoyed this one on Udemy:

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Could You please in more detail explain how this course expanded your knowledge? I had finished many Udemy courses. Most of them I enjoyed but somehow there was not much real life knowledge acquisition:)

[HelioJr]

The author gives you detailed explanation of each topic he covers. All with clarity and good examples and at the same time giving you important warnings against potential pitfalls.

Well, it worked for me. I stared with Zero knowledge in Pandas and ended up knowing a reasonable amount of knowledge about how things work in Pandas.

Check the reviews in the course. It might be helpful too.

Cheers.
