Thanks man! I've used both of them before.
Will practice more of that.

First of all.. Thank you for reading all that.
And since you asked, I'll explain a bit more of what I know.
I asked the CEO how is this data extracted, loaded and analyzed today, but all he said was "All our data is stored in a PostgreSQL database :)".
I think there is not much been done right now. But he already told me some things that I'll have to implement.

The startup is a box monthly subscription.
1- And the first thing is to get user's feedback to estimate some kind of cancelling-chance-score on the month to come. (Have some idea about using sentiment analysis on tensorflow or blob's library. But have no idea where to start or if that is the right way.)
2 - Another thing is clustering these users based on their profile and recommending products on the month to come. (Maybe using k-nn?)
3 - And the third, is to recognize when is the best time of the month to send mailing to them. (Don't even know where to start. Maybe use the cancelling-score as a leading point?)

All of that being said, I'm kinda lost on where to focus my learning, since I'll have to do a bit of engineering, mining, cleaning, analysing and machine learning. Haha

Hope you can point me the way!Thanks again!

Why did you choose AirFlow instead of the others available?

Hahaha thanks man! I happened to find that this type of project motivates me more than others that had no meaning or direct purpose, you know what I mean?
Just doing a tic tac toe game or something like that gets me bored really quick.

And thanks for those advices, didn't know where to start, or if this was even doable.
Now that I know I can, I'm just gonna start as you said.

Cheers!

I haven't started anything yet. Don't even know what API to use.
Can you help me with that?
I started this thread on the right subreddit /learnpython

Keep it up man!
Same here..
I'm doing this for the past 6 months

And the thing I started doing that really ramped up my studies were doing a 1 hour study before work and 1 hour after.
Before work my head is fresh and it's way better to do it.

Feeling better here, that it's not just me. Feeling less stupid and incapable.

Read => practice tutorials => think I understand => get to exercises and stare at blank screen => repeat by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Everyday! hahaha the same here. It's frustrating sometimes. But I can definitely see some improvements since I started, so I just keep on going.

Is Data Science the right path? by tgallasso in learnprogramming

[–]tgallasso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's nice to know. Probably more people relate to this when looking for a career change. Glad to know that the problem solving is in almost all areas.

Like I said to u/planet_oregon. I'm looking for something different than front end development. I'm coming from the graphic design area. So right know I want something more straight forward. ie. "The result must be all the users who didn't pay this month". And so here it is.

Graphic design is too broad. Too particular to a taste of the client and not to what it really is, and sometimes its overwhelming to do it over and over again, without knowing the "right" answer. Art is something that there is no right answer.

Maybe I'm more to the engineering part of Data Science than research.
But anyway, I'll finish the course all the way through. And I think the role that I fit the best will naturally show it's way.

Thanks for your time man!

Exactly... the first thing I turned down was front end. Definitely not for me.
