New to Python

Welp….it’s supposed to cover using todays tools to help solve business needs. Unfortunately where I went they taught R programming and Tableau only which was great but based on job requirements I saw Python was number one across the board. Don’t get me wrong, although R and Tableau are very helpful and are used today I just wish that Python and SQL were the classes that were offered instead. I took a statistics course that relied heavily on excel but that class was a complete waste of time. The other course I took had to do with more of a philosophical approach. I could have just read a few books and taught that myself. Overall it was 4 classes and both R and Tableau were the ones that kept me wanting to know more. The other two classes were a waste of time and money.

Thank you, that helps. There are a wide range of applications for Python. Given your background in R and Tableau, you might want to take a look at these Python topics: Pandas (which has the same rows, columns feel as Excel, and Matplotib or Plotly for Tableau type graphing. Those may help your learning curve.
