I understand being mentioned here.
The truth here is that decision to move in to a field can be relative.
I started as a web developer because I already knew it wasn’t easy to just start a role as a data scientist or analyst then. My aim then was get funds that will keep me going. Back then it was extremely easy to land a web developer role even if it’s small JS, CSS and html compared to data role. However during those periods data analyst or science role were few with few individuals. Compare that to now. My advice will be to learn basics of web dev before moving to data role. The reason being that you have funds to survive while learning data.
However if advising anyone on software, I will ask the person to narrow it down to blockchain technology because that’s the future and we are already in it.
For Nigerian space, there are always software role for any newbies coming to tech compared to data.
If your focus is abroad then data science/analytics is for you.
Another big disadvantage with software dev is the growth prospect. You don’t partake in management decisions which someone in data has that edge.
To me, data is integral but software is eating it

Yea it is free, but you have to apply. Even if you aren't taken it doesn't matter you can still get access to the videos and assignments. The difference is those chosen will be in real-time as classes go on and can ask questions as well.
