Good thread. I want to transition into Data Science and have to learn this.

I tried Python for the first time earlier today while reading a book on Data Viz. It took 1-2 hours to figure out how to download a module to do a basic scrape of a website lol. Mostly my issue was just because I was using the wrong environment and stuff. I will slowly get the hang of it. Good luck to ya!

i'm actually working through this at the moment.

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

I cant grasp some of the practice problems so I do some practice problems here:

Practice Python

I was planning on learning this after fixing some things.

I found this resource today and wanted to share it with y'all boys Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python | edX
Program through MIT. It started 6 days ago, but i just signed up today and am going through it for a couple hours a day. It's pretty good so far and rigorous enough. Let me know if yall sign up.

I’m a data scientist, a I use Python heavily.
Def recommend code academy, that’s how I learned.

As for data science, make sure you learn basic statistics, it’s important to have a solid bases of statistics.

Welcome breh. All the programs my team use are coded in Python. I just had to write an ansible module in Python to scrape files that users upload to our systems, clean them up, and make sure they have the proper details to be used as the config for the app that we run. Took me about a day or so to knock out. Python has been the easiest language for me to lean.

Background: My team is devOps for software-as-a-service within our company.

I took "An Easy Intro to Python" that was offered on StackSkills for like $37 via a techdeals offer 2 years ago.

My next frontier, the efficiency that coding Aws Cli commands in python vs reg old bash is astounding

Going to keep an eye on this thread. My interest in Python has grown since I've gotten back into messing around with Linux distros again.

Thanks. I was suspended, so I'm catching up on everything I missed. Hopefully I have a good understanding of this by end of Q2. Last November, I had an internal interview for a Data job. I blew past the spoken part with people on the team, but when it came time to do the work, I struggled. I still have the test they gave me saved on my desktop so I can always go back to do some sweat equity if necessary.

I got you. I just had to scan it to see if it included anything that would give away where I work.

There are also classes on Udemy if you want to go on that route. It took me a long time to understand Python but it finally click for me about three weeks ago when I went back and did the basics again . Just keep at it and don't hesitant to ask questions.

Just bought this Python Crash Course book by Eric Matthes. Just wanted to know if there are any developers on here with any other resources I could use. I would also like to know what opportunities are available after learning Python from anyone with this skillset. Thanks.

Crazy, I came into 6fig to get some daily motivation while reading my Python book and see a thread created about the very book I’m using right this moment I bought this book (1st ed) years ago and have paused for Cisco and other studies, but its a great book and brings a good method of learning and using Python. I’m currently at the chapter about Unit Testing
