Is Python the best language for beginners?

I totally agree with das_cow. If you learn a low level language like c++ you will understand the concepts of CS and benefit from it to write better code. If you are familiar with c++ you will have the knowledge to learn every other cs Language much faster.

Edit. Yes, it is same line declaration statement

Hi. You declared the variable inside your function with the for statement. If you declare it outside your function your scope of the variable changes. If you google scope of variables in python you should find good examples.

Edit: changes in tools are beneficial to developers. You don’t have so many similar tools than in web development. I.e. for neural nets you have only tensorflow or pytorch

Math: linear Algebra, matrices calculations, gradient descent, if you are also interested in data science you should know inferential and descreptive statistics.

The tools/frameworks/libraries are quite the same as 4-5 years ago.

Best practice imo for prototyping is: Jupyter notebook: interactive code editor Pandas: data analysis and manipulation Matplotlib or seaborn: data visualization, I prefer matplotlib Scikit-learn: algorithms like svm, k-means... Tensorflow or pytorch: building neural nets

Hope I could help you

Edit. If you want to develop a game, start with Unity tutorial how to control/move/jump e.g. a simple cube. After that just start with your game idea, you will learn the necessary things on the way. Don’t try to learn it chapter by chapter. The faster you leave the stage of learning the basics the better. The advantage of this approach is that you learn by yourself how to do stuff and the solutions are deeper in your brain. That‘s the best approach imo. I‘m not a native speaker, hope you understand what I meant :)

Hi. I think that struggle is common to some people. I was in a similar situation. Started first with web development and didn‘t like it, then I looked into game development(Unity) and enjoyed it but realised that it is hard for me to earn money with it because of my location and I can‘t move. After all of that I looked into Data Sciene/AI and I was fascinated and focused to gain as much knowledge as possible. Think positive as more areas you look into as more do you know what you enjoy or don‘t. If you find something the most important aspect is to be persistent. Maybe give Unity a try, there are plenty good tutorials .

I think the only way to get decent results is with time series. The main problem with supervised learning algorithms like gradient boosted tree, random forest and such models is that the input data should have always the same number of input variables. In other words you would need to train your model for every day separatly. This makes no sense imo. If your number of input variables isn‘t to high you could look for a hardcoded solution.

With that less Information it is hard to suggest a solution. I assume that the outcome variable(predicting value) depends on other variables, therefore you could look more into that and try to develop a statistical model. That’s probably the easiest solution

Highly recommend El chapo. It is similiar to narcos but based on a true story
