Anybody that lives in Lagos axis and has Brad Traversy's Udemy course on Modern HTML and CSS should hit me up. I will put up a good offer. Thanks very much.
Have you gotten the course yet?

Dthinkerman:


Yes, you need to learn everything in a sequential manner. Especially, given that you want to learn to read X-rays and medical scanning, you are going to have to learn even deeper and more widely than those learning to be data analysts.

You aren't going to use just machine learning for this purpose, you are going to use deep learning and eventually specialize in computer vision, instead. However, having a good grasp of machine learning is a prerequisite.

Medical scannings and X-ray readings will involve getting solid in deep learning for computer vision and OpenCV, and doing things like image recognition, object detection, OCR, et al.

Of course, this technology live up to my expectation and I found more information about it here https://www.it-jim.com/blog/tessact-library-configuration/ sooner or later such technologies will be used everywhere.

Yo, how does one extract the date from strings in that date field. I don't want to see reported

I only know how to do this in python.

Split the string and remove the first item if it matches to reported.

Or you can use a replace function for the target string. Replace it with an empty space or '' ''

Replace “Reported ” with an empty string. PQ should be able to identify 07-Jun-2017 as date now then you change the data type of the column to date to transform the affected records.

Ejiod my guy.. I remember us conversing via mail some 2 years back on my old moniker. I had just got my first job as an intern and didn't know where I was headed in IT. I tried web dev initially..
HTML and CSS was easy. JS was confusing . I was making progress but I did not know If I should master vanilla JS or not. Too many technologies in that space to confuse a beginner.
I have always been average with numbers so I felt that limitation will come to the fore sooner or later so I was hesitant diving straight. But was very good with manipulating Excel.

Then .. boom I get my first real Job in Technical Support. I knew that was what I wanted lol. I have expanded into Cloud Computing so much now. Yes I still write codes to automate stuffs. But now it's Powershell scripts to interact with Azure.
I will be resuming my third Job after this whole SARS issue is over, in a cloud focused role and salary is just over 200k. Not bad for someone with 2 years experience and almost zero certifications grin.
I still have a thing for Data analysis wahlahi. And will later write a Microsoft Certification to certify my Excel skills. Will delve into python too as I work more with Linux and AWS.

It's all good. Any path you wanna taken just start doing something.
I hope to become more established in my field so that I can draw up a thread to guide people too. Una well done
Mr JahBwoy. I sent you a PM, please kindly check.

Is it a measure or a column?it looks like a calculated column to me.....I might be wrong though........well, the first statement in the if block is the condition that should evaluate to true or false ,the second is what happens if the condition evaluates to true ,and the third is what happens when it evaluates to false.
I think he/she is just trying to avoid a Divisionbyzeroerror.

that's the problem it's not a calculated column, I searched through the data table view to find the column I didn't see any. It is a measure. I'm thinking it's the divison by zero error.

Same file I downloaded today.

Hello sir. Please is this your computer a dell e6430? How is the battery life? Could you recommend a good laptop power bank for me? One that could work with dell.

I am currently waiting for nysc and is using this opportunity to learn data science but light has been an issue and I don't want to get a gen so that the property I will have to move when I'm posted won't be so much.

Bro, it's far better than Jupyter and has more features than it. I've used Jupyter in the past, so I'm talking from experience. You can suit yourself if you prefer Jupyter.

Could you kindly show steps on how you use VS code with the Jupyter engine running?

First, you can check out the https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial for more info.

1. install VS code.
2. Install Python from the extensions toolbar in VS-code. It's the one with about 30 million downloads.
3. You also have to install Python on your system from the official python website ( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support )

I think that's all you need. One of the major reason I prefer VS code is cause of the intellisense feature which Anaconda lacks. You get suggestions as you type just like when coding C# in visual studio.

You can google stuffs to learn more.

@bolded you are wrong. Anaconda has intellisence and autocomplete features. As someone who has used both anaconda jupyter notebook and jupyter notebook on VS Code, anaconda intellisence is faster. There are times the suggestion and autocompletion feature even fails on VS Code.

The last time I used anaconda which was early this year, it didn't have intellisense. They probably added it after Microsoft rolled out VS code with intellisense.

It's not a new feature tho. The intellisence doesn't work by default, you have to do a quick configuration.

But generally, its better to work with anaconda jupyter notebook, the visuals are more pleasing than on VS Code. For instance, if you are reading a multi-indexed Dataset with Pandas DataFrame on VS Code, the dataframe would appear disorganized and you'll not easily know which column belongs to which. But in anaconda Jupyter notebook, it would appear nicer, well organized in actual tables.

Kindly shed light on the quick configuration to get it working on anaconda

Run the magic command below in your jupyter notebook

%Config IPCompleter.greedy=True

When programming, just hit the "tab" key for intellisence. Also when calling a function and you open the first bracket, you can hit shift+tab for documentation information like parameters and such.
