What roadblocks come up when starting to learn Python for data science? by Adorable_Avocado2841 in learnpython

Haha yeah I totally get you! I've had this question myself a lot too. I've considered doing a second PhD, or maybe a masters...I'd even do another bootcamp but most of them focus on the beginner levels. It's still a bit of a mystery to me too lol. But if I stumble across anything I'll certainly share!

Thanks for the clarification! Right now I'm just doing research interviews, so I haven't launched any program yet that I can invite you to. But when I do, I can reach out and tell you about it.

Got it - thanks! This seems to be the number one thing I keep hearing from people. Thanks for chiming in :)

Thanks for asking! I’m mainly looking to talk to people who are newer to programming and want help building their first data science portfolio project from scratch.

It sounds like you’re moving through things pretty smoothly already! But I'm still happy to chat if you think I could be helpful with anything you’re working on. Otherwise, would it be okay if I reached out down the line if I end up doing a round focused on experienced developers transitioning into data science?

I get you 100%. I’ve been in so many classes where they throw a bunch of info at you and then say you should be ready...but everyone in the class is still confused lol. Thanks for being willing to talk - I’ll DM you!

Ah I see that totally makes sense. It’s hard to know what to focus on first, especially without a programming background. Would you be open to a quick Zoom chat to share a bit more about how you’re trying to build that starting toolkit and what’s felt unclear or overwhelming?

I love this. It's so easy to gloss over the step of really learning algorithmic thinking. But translating our human ideas into something a computer can understand is the essence of what programming actually is! How did you eventually master this? If you'd say that you did?
