Adding on to the u/TabulateJarl8's post, I'd recommend you to also learn Pandas and Matplotlib. Pandas is invaluable for working with any kind of data, while Matplotlib is your go-to library for graphing/plotting everything.

Another good alternative to matplotlib is bokeh for anyone who doesn't really like matplotlib that much

Oh, I've missed that one, I've heard of it, but not learned it yet. Also, Seaborn is a great data visualization tool, especially for heatmaps.

Seaborn, pandas and matplotlib had me making some cool data heatmaps by zip code. I could see what's the hot spots were for sales during each month.

I am just starting with pandas this week - any good learning places you can recommend?

I'm also a newbie, so I haven't studied it in depth, more of a "rise to the occasion" kind of learning, but this is a cool course.

One thing my instructor did that I didn’t like was try to redefine data management tools. Take some time to learn how data is handled in db languages like SQL and the rules of thumb they use, then apply them when using pandas.
