I hope you guys applied for the Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp for Young Africans (SSA). If you did and have been successfully admitted, please let's connect and strategize. I just got notification of admission.

Congrats, I have been waiting for the notification, I refreshed by email all through yesterday, I later gave up and stopped.
Is there any chance they are still sending notification of admission?

So guys...

I dumped a lot of engagements to free myself today for a technical interview for a foreign firm and less than two hours to the interview, got a mail from the VP cancelling the process because "something came up"...

Why am I sharing this?

Just to let y'all know that

...in the eyes of Europeans/Americans.

Be informed.

They could possibly still be sending out. I'm not too sure about it.

Yeah, it is what it is.. In this field, those foreign recruiters or coys find it hard trusting guys from this part of the world with their data.,one of the challenges! But That will not make us quit.

Good one. However, you need to understand how to structure data by doing some data cleaning and restructuring so as to make it more meaningful and insightful to the eye and brain.

Also, pie chart isn't the idea chart type for the above demo project.
I wish you good luck bro.

Thanks for this video

The likes of excel formula and functions
Power Query (so powerful)
Check Excelisfun on YouTube, and focus on the data analysis part of his video

Keep going at it. You're on to good start.
With basic Python almost done, attempt the same dataset and try out basic charting, histogram, and some correlation and trend in Python.
From there, you move on to other aspects. Obviously, you don't loose track of SQL and NoSQL.
Nonetheless, keep attempting deeper analysis in #Excel

You can learn any kind of sql. There's really no particular favourite since they are pretty much all the same. But if you really do want to hear something, then just go with MySQL or Postgres.

thank you very much.

Good morning. I'm pretty versed in Excel but Haven't started vba. Can I learn python or sql instead of vba Awaiting your responses

Fucckkkk... Does this affect data engineering guys as well?

Bro, my experience may be different from yours.

Didn't mean to demoralise anyone...and in my own experience, if there's a one chance in five to land a foreign job as a tech professional, for a data professional, that becomes one chance in ten.

Hello all,

So my subscription expired yesterday and would not auto-renew due to a card issue.

I renewed my subscription today and noticed that all of the history on my Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate course is gone, although it shows 2 out of the 8 modules completed (Please see attached screenshot). I also have my certificates for the 2 modules completed.

My questions are:
1. How do I get back the history (completed assignments, readings and videos watched)
2. Is it fine if I just continue where I stopped without worrying about the above.

Omotaday:
It is not compulsory to use the discussion prompts. For self reflection, since its graded, you can just write a sentence then submit it. That is what I do. I am on the same course.

lovelybobo:
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!!!

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

I think you should write to them or drop your question on the discussion forum, someone will answer you.

Thanks.

I did a post, and was referred to the support team, who told me to clear the cache and cookies, try different browsers, and restart my system. These didn't resolve the issue. I have replied with this feedback, still expecting a response.

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

Thank you bro. So, I would have to learn that after the course, right?

Have you covered the data analysis part of Excel? Inclusive of power query and pivot tables/charts.
Then Learn SQL for now and maybe one of PowerBI or Tableau next , then you could go further to python.
VBA is now old school.
Good luck my brother.

Powerpivot/query 85% done. Charts are now my babies
