What’s it useful for?
Damn near everything:
Web development
DevOps
Machine Learning
My job is paying for me to take this Python for Cisco Engineers class. Rest/Netconf APIs, Yang, Jinja all integrated using Python as the glue language.
Wow Ok, but not as useful for data analysis or business intelligence? I’m just trying to see something.
Python is definitely useful for data analysis. Look up anaconda and pynum. There are classes on Edx/course a specifically for Python data analysis applications.
Ok thank you!! I really appreciate it.
This school is trying to make me take introduction to python, but Im not taking that shyt. Lol I know R and have no use for python. Plus I can learn it for free online.
What SQL course are you taking?Goodness there is soooooo much free knowledge on the internet its ridiculous. I really slept this last year on the skills I could have gotten.
You can learn online for free and during your free time at work, ask to work on a side project to actually put your skills to the test. Better yet, there's no such thing as wasted knowledge, even if you want to own your own shop.
I'm plugging away on this SQL course online. 2019 finna be my year.
I think for business/data analysis you won't need as much Python truth be told. I actually had an interview with a lady who does business analysis. She said she mainly uses Excel and Tableau, SQL a bit and not that much Python. I think Python is more so for hardcore programming.
Pretty good so far just to get my feet wet. For my role, I don't have to be a guru with SQL, just have a decent grasp of it. I'm planning to do some additional work over this weekend to get better.
I really think I've undersold myself this past 6 months or so as it concerns skills growth and career growth.
That’s what I explained to her. It’s just not necessary for the path I’m going.
Yall should do CodeAcademy because if you're really trying to learn SQL that's some shyt you're gonna HAVE to be hands on/interactive with.
