Even programmers I expect to have sense when it comes to this chatgpt thing, them no get sense..... Chtgpt does not generate anything, it is only giving what it has been fed, Garbage in Garbage out, you get? It's not generating shit, it just doing copy and paste from different sources.

Wow, I am amazed at your response to the technology that has come to revolutionize things for humanity.
Please bury the thought, Chat GPT is not and will never be copy and paste.
AI stands Artificial Intelligence. It is a form of intelligence but created by man.

You will greatly appreciate Chat GPT when you understand prompt engineering and how to write clear, effective and optimized prompts for the Chat GPT.

I have personally written some very fine prompts for chat GPT and I am amazed at the results I got.
It pays to do a little research on emerging technologies so you can understand things clearly.

Prompt engineering is a course and developers buy prompts to use CHATGPT effectively .

Thanks for opening my eyes to Prompt Engineering. To me, it is the game changer.
It pays to learn things the right way with the right resources.

Shalom

Chat GPT is very good depending on your personal knowledge on the Subject matter. It can write codes on any language. It can concatenate Excel files and perform aggregation.

The truth is that you must have a very clear understanding of what you want to do, and the kind of result you are expecting before you can really enjoy using it.

Pls could you advise how to make payment on Coursera. I want to begin the Google Data Analytics course but payment has been a problem.

Option 1 : Get Dollar card from any bank. I am sure it will work. You can't make Dollar payment using Naira Debit cards anymore.

Option 2 : Look for how to get scholarship to enable you do courses in Coursera.

Option 3 : IF the certificate is not important to you, You are just interested in the knowledge and entire materials. You can private chat me and I share it with you.

Ella2000:
Hello all. I tried paying for the Microsoft Power BI DA exam, and chose Nigeria as my location. However, the platform did not accept my USD card. A friend of mine tried helping me pay from Canada but it didn’t work. I’m thinking it’s because I chose Nigeria as my location. However, if i choose USA or Canada, the cost of the exam doubles. Kindly advise.

Please use this link and buy a voucher for all Microsoft exams.

https://wsr.pearsonvue.com/vouchers/pricelist/microsoft.asp

Note that pearsonvue does not accept card payments from 12 countries and 9 of the countries are from Africa, since Nigeria must be among that is why you can not pay for any Microsoft exam using your Debit cards.

Good Morning bro. Uv done a good job here.

Pls I'm into the Medica Profession. Seems Robotics and AI is becoming the new order.


Can u guide me on how to go abt this and becoming a professional in this field of Robotics and AI? What I'm I suppose to learn before fitting Into this space??

The best way to accomplish this is to learn computer science, coding, physics, and linear algebra. For coding, you may start with Python.

Thanks man...I was looking at AWS.

How much did Azure cost you?

You can do all Fundamentals certification from Microsoft for free if you attend their Virtual training. Join any of the virtual training depending on the time zone of interest. Two or three days after the training they will send a free exam voucher for that particular training.

Option 2

Check Microsoft learn for either 100% or 50% discount voucher if complete a learning within a specified time frame.

Normal cost
Fundamentals certifications = $99 maximum depending on your country. Nigeria get around $55
Associate certifications = $ 165 maximum depending on your country, Nigeria get around $80
Expert Certifications = $100 to $250 depending on the area

Kaycee54321:
Guys, I don't know if this has been touched previously...

But is anyone kind enough to share experiences on doing a cloud certification like GCP or AWS...or something like that?

Cloud computing and Edge computing is the direction of technology now. They are three major players in the cloud technology industry.
1 Amazon - AWS
2 Microsoft - Azure
3 Google - GCP

they are all good depending on your need and the kind of services you are looking at.
I have Azure certifications and they are cool.
Certifications help to validate your knowledge and skill set

Hinokami:

Please who has done web scraping on indeed.
I want to scrape job listings as a project but when i parse the html it is different from what i see from the page inspect tool. Ie it is less.
Is there a way to get the real content of indeed.com so i can scrape it?

I have done that on two different occasions.

when it comes to IT or Computer skills, find out what you are good at and this is the take off point. This applies to everybody irrespective of age. Consider the following questions and this will help make an informed decision.
1 What I am good at, can it be done or enhanced using computer and how?
2 What I am good at, can it be done using an exiting software application program (Corel Draw, Excel, AutoCAD etc)
3 What I am good at, can it be done or enhanced using Cloud computing or Edge computing (This direction of technology now)
4 What I am good at, can it be done or enhanced using any known programming language (PHP, Python, SQL etc)
5 What I am good at, what is the basic entry level requirement to enable me use it and earn some cash (Naira or Dollar)
6 What I am good at, where do I want to use the skills (Locally or Internationally)
7 What I am good at, does it have any form of certification to validate knowledge or skillset
8 What I am good at, How much do I want to earn with the skills and what level of expertise do I want to attain (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert)

Note:
1 Any thing that can be done using computer which allows another person in a different location to see your work and review it can bring money into your pocket.
2 Any office that exist in the cloud means there is no onsite office anywhere, everybody works remotely.

Lastly, I have a very good friend who studied Accounting and uses Microsoft Excel very well and he makes millions out of Excel here in Nigeria. Mastery is the Keyword. Be very good at whatever you do. kings will soon invite you to the table for launch.

IamBabsjnr:
Guys,pls can you reccommend blogs that talk about data science/analysis and ML for me as a beginner?
.
.
.
i want to read atleast 4 articles per day on data.

Try this Microsoft Documentation. It has everything you need.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/?product=popular

sammytee02:
Does that mean after finishing the course, would have to learn those libraries, right?

And could you please send a link to learn them? Thanks.

When you finish learning the course, You will learn the Libraries differently depending on what you plan to do.
Data Analysis
Data Science
Machine Learning
AI
Data Engineering
The needed python libraries will vary.
Check Freecodecamp YouTube Channel, They have everything you need.
I normally recommend you use study materials from different sources and any study material you intend to use, must have dataset you can practice with.

I hope everything is clear to you. I wish you luck in your journey.

Shalom!!!!

sammytee02:
Thanks a lot. Please, does the two - Python for everybody and Freecodecamp include the python data science libraries (numpy, pandas and co)?

The answer to your question is NO but I will recommend you get the details of the course from Coursera. Thanks

sammytee02:
Hello everyone. Please, does anyone have an idea about python for everybody in Coursera. Is it better to learn python from there - most especially for data analysis? Would like to know from people that have learnt python from Coursera. Thanks.

Most Coursera courses are good but the challenge is you will need more than one source of material to learn anything very well. I normally recommend 4 sources on the same topic.

Dr. Severance did a fantastic job on python for everybody course and he concluded by saying that you should enroll in another beginner course to be 100% sure that you have understood all the basics that are needed.

You can get the video of the lecture from Freecodecamp YouTube Channel.
The slides and practice files can be gotten from his personal site https://www.py4e.com/
You achieve the same thing without enrolling on Coursera except you need the certificate

Shalom!!!

Any thing in the computing space is good and lucrative depending on how far you are willing to push your skills. You can start with Networking and tilt towards Cyber Security or Cloud Administration. Any skill that can offer you opportunity to work remotely is very good. Which ever path you decide to take you will be fine. Remember MASTERY IS THE KEYWORD.

Shalom.!!!

fikayormi:
Hi Guys, I need a cyber security tutor in Abuja , I’m really interested in learning cyber security, I stay in Abuja locogoma axis , any expert in that field that can guide me ..

Cyber Security is a very wide field and so many things to learn.
1 Networking
2 Network Security
3 Penetration
4 Different tools and their usage
5 and many mores depending on your area of specialization.

Your background should help you decide where to start and how far you want to go.
I am based in Abuja incase you want to talk more.

Shalom

Eromzi:
ok, happy new year friends. just a quick one. do we have different type of data analyst for different industries?

I see some materials data analysis for accounting, data analysis for healthcare.
I just need insight into this. and a common ground for them all. @ejiod and other gurus over to you all.

The same dataset can be used by different industries to achieve different results depending on what they set out to achieve.
Healthcare use of financial data is different from tech use of financial data and also different from finance industry use financial data.
You will need to pick an industry of choice somewhere along the line. This is called Subject Matter Knowledge or Expert.

Shalom...

I will recommend you try Freecodecamp.
use their site as well as their YouTube channel and you will be glad.

Shalom....

As the year is gradually coming to an end, take stock of where you are and compare it to where you said you were going at the beginning of the year. Review what you already know and create new strategy to learn new things.

Discipline is the keyword

Data Analyst, Data Science, Data Engineer, AI and ML is a journey and not a Destination


Shalom

Homeboiy:
I studied statistics
Do you think I should go for the Data science or stick to cyber security?

Ethical hacking

It is not about what you studied.
Why did you study Statistics and not Engineering or Computer Science.
It's about your personality build up.
Both Courses will require deep Programming skills and many soft skills.
Networking skills across different platforms is a most for Cyber Security etc.

Please do a little research on the requirement for each and compare it with your personality build up.
Any one you choose will require time to master the content and receive the rewards.

Shalom

Homeboiy:
I’m just confused

I got a diploma on Information technology and cyber law from SIIT an online school

But the practical part from the lecture videos is making me confused

I think I have to switch to Data science because I studied statistics

Please don't be confused. Data Analytics is a very broad field and still growing, decide on your area of specialization and select your domain to move faster.
Example 1
If you studied health related courses, your domain should be health and available job titles are Health Data analyst, Health Record Analyst etc.
Decide on a domain or area of specialization to make study easy and progress faster.
Shalom

Please, which work authorization do you use as a remote worker from Nigeria and working in US or Europe.
I have had some discussions with some tech companies in US and Germany

Secondly, How do you deal with your payment from there.

Any info will be appreciated.

daddytime:
I've been struggling to load a particular data set to complete my IBM Data Analyst Capstone Project with no luck. I don't know what could be wrong with the data set and can't find any help to resolve it from even the staffs at IBM. I've been stuck on it for 2 weeks now.

I just tire.

can you post the particular error message you are getting.
From my experience, most of the loading problem in python has to do with the encoding

Are data scientist jobs competitive?
Nope.

Not at all.

The truth is only a few people understand enough to work the end to end machine learning pipeline.

Most applied data science is machine learning.

Most machine learning supervised.

Most supervised machine learning requires a heavy data cleansing component.

Here’s the machine learning pipeline.

[img]https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2b108963c13a0ba3a4f7652a0317610d[/img]

Many that have the first two often lack the math and stats needed for number three.

Many that have the math and stats in the third step lack the skills for the first two.

Visually, the pipeline looks simple. In reality, it takes years of knowledge and experience to be able to work through the entire process from start to finish.

When you’re ready to learn real-world machine learning.

You’ll never secure a top paying real world job without being able to cleanse your own data.
