Congrats

cochtrane:
Glad to see this thread still making progress. If you are interested in data science tutorials and/or lectures at beginner to intermediate level, watch out for this space . I'll be offering a series of lectures in the coming months for those interested who want to transition or stay motivated. Lectures may be paid though, cos my observation from giving free lectures is that they hardly make any significant impact.

Good day boss do you know about DataMites institute. I want to join them for data analysis / science courses.

jesse8048:


Boss, we will really appreciate.
Please do you know much about DataMites?

Hi everyone,
How could someone who self schooled herself in programming start a career in IT? Considering that she doesn't have a degree in IT.

wisdomremz:
just wanted to drop this
if you are a beginner and willing to start a career in data science without any skill, you should start with excel then sql..

if you prefer videos for training in details

you can get full trainings on excel and sql server from beginner to advance in details from YouTube below;

1) for excel- watch *excelisfun* YouTube channel cover all you need from beginner to advance and also using excel for data analysis


2) for sql server- watch *kudvenkat* youtube channel covers all about sql server from beginner to advance its quite long(winks)



with this you're 30% covered in data science..



I love video tutorial cos you watch Wat is taught been put in use and you can perform simultaneously, books can be used for references.

Ejiod:

Haven’t heard about them

Kaycee54321:


Chief,

Which would you recommended?

Azure or AWS?

Ejiod:

Azure

Kaycee54321:


Ok...

I'll appreciate a comprehensive reason for your choice (at your convenience).

Thanks

Good evening everyone. I just got a laptop after several months of saving. I'd like to learn data science and software development vigorously. Is it feasible to learn both? If yes, which should I start with?. I learn one has to start with learning python if one chooses to embark on the path of data science

cochtrane:

Just start with python first and keep learning. It's not enough to "want to". Doing it is much better.
Post here if you need help with understanding

What's the difference between Data science and data analysis?

cochtrane:

Data science is a lot more rounded in terms of working with data. It looks at critical aspects of the data and conducts analysis from multiple angles. It's more of a science than an art, leveraging all kinds of tools from deep learning to bayesian analysis in its work with data. Data science isn't just about the data itself, but about the scientific tools with which to work with the data. Here , you would use mathematics, statistics, mathematical statistics, and all kinds of integrated approach in your analysis of the data.

Data analysis on the other hand is more about the data than it is about the tools. You often just work with the data across ETL pipelines, transform it, summarize it, visualize it, etc. Oftentimes, even if the analysis is complex, you may not need rigorous mathematical tools to work in your analysis. Software such as Tableau, Power BI, etc. come in handy here. In contrast to data science which is more of a science than an art, data analysis is more of an art than a science. Both however still have components of science and art in them.

Both approaches want to derive insight from the data and to inform decision using the data.

This is just my opinion

Lindajames1010:
..
Wow.... thank you very much...

I want to focus on data analysis only.
Can I build a career with that only?
I mean earning well

cochtrane:

Most definitely. Some data analysts earn up to $100k per annum. You should focus on the tools of data analysis such as Tableau, SQL and Power BI. With just those three, you can get a decent remote job from anywhere in the world.

Thank you very much...

Here are what I will be focusing on
1. Excel knowledge
2. SQL
3. Tableau
4. Python
4. Microsoft Power BI.

Please guys I have been learning SQl(t-sql) for a long while and gotten very good at it but I have no intents with working on premise. Would I be able to secure a remote job being just being an Sql developer

avalon7:


Highly unlikely

cochtrane:

Why not? There are a ton of remote sql jobs out there

Good morning everyone. I really want to appreciate everyone in this page. Came across it last month and I've never been so motivated. I've been able to get a PC, some of the materials recommended here. Right now, I'm learning excel. Still trying to balance it out with work. Hearing that others like me are putting in the effort to be better, is enough motivation for me. So, I just want to say thank you to all of you.
PS. If you're new to the thread, try to start from the beginning. Take note of the recommended courses. Source for them online.
