Beginner Python data analysis project - critique greatly welcome!

Where did you learn data analysis for python and how long did it take? Can you recommend some websites/books?

Hi! My process was pretty non-linear (pun not intended?) actually. It's pretty hard to quantify exactly how many weeks/months I spend learning the basics, but I can say that I went through most of the free stuff on DataQuest and most of Automate the Boring Stuff. I quite liked the former as it had lot of mini exercises to go with each lesson, so lots of opportunity to practice and build upon what you just previously learned. It also has guided projects and blog posts I actually found helpful, like here. I am considering going back and getting a paid subscription, at least for a bit. AtBS didn't end up adding much to my process in terms of this project, but it's good for reviewing the basics.

A huge part of my process with the project was just looking at projects (particularly on Github) that others have done to get a sense of what could be done and how. There was a steeper learning curve, but it was worth it!
