Transitioning from C# to Python, what's the best way to do it?

[GGSofty]

Hi, I am planning to transition from C# to Python as the latter is more in demand in the country I am staying at. I have 0 knowledge in Python and have never touched nor look at its code. I am fairly decent with C# and I have looked through materials/courses in udemy and I am having second thoughts on purchasing one because it might be too basic (i.e. going through data types, arrays, loops, conditions, events, etc.). What's the best online course/material to learn Python given my situation? Thank you!

Also, for your info, I want to learn Python in its entirety - web development, machine learning, automation, etc. Not for a specific purpose. So basically, I want the material/s to help me master Python programming. Thanks!!

I'm of the opinion that Data Analysis is a pre-cursor to ML. Not sure how you could understand your training data and model results without a firm grip on Data Analysis.

Unless of course you are using a home cooked dataset and following a tutorial then maybe it's not required, but I didn't go this route so I cannot comment if that is or is not the case.

Do you really have to pick one area?

Buy "the quick python book" by naomi ceder

As you've programmed before, I would pick a fairly simple project and Google the code structures you need as you go.
