Thanks. I like the way you outlined the courses. Thanks once more. Please share if u have materials or suggest sites I can from for free. It seems there's no free course online except on utube.

Will I get the worth of my money when I buy courses from UDEMY/CORSERA/EDX?

I saw this thread last year and it was the finally icing on my cake to go into Data Analysis. I just got my system and I'm ready to take off, I wish there are beginners like me here who can walk this journey with me. Thank you to the op who started this God bless you.
Hello mhizcutie, can we connect? I am also a newbie to Data Science.

YouTube and blogs Will be enough I think. What I often do whenever I want to learn a new topic is that, I will first watch a YouTube video to get familiar with the topic (Note that YouTube video will only give the basic knowledge ) then go further to read different articles( 2 or more sometime) for deeper knowledge...

Give me sometime, I will list out some site and video I think it might help

Do you consider learning data analysis in EXCEL a waste of time for a beginner?

Hi guys, please don’t be deterred with the current job prospects of being a Data scientist/analyst. I’m also new to this but I’m quite positive. While you’re getting the skills, look for other avenues to leave the country.

I’m in the U.S doing my Masters in a different field and I can guarantee you that the demand for data analysts are always endless. No knowledge is a waste. We’ll get there someday!

Please, if you’re very good in data analysis, I will appreciate your mentorship. Currently in my last phase in Tableau, I hope to advance to Python next week. I’m also stuck with Tableau project (I enrolled with Simplilearn boot camp) and I need help!

I’d appreciate anyone reaching out.

Thanks

Since you ain't financially buoyant, asking you to watch videos online is out of the equation. I can help you by sharing with you PDFs for any type of course you want. From learning python, to learning data analysis using python from Wes McKinney himself (Google who he is), to machine learning using python, deep learning using python.

Good afternoon boss
Please can you send me the above PDF docs

Also, I earlier shared a Udemy channel with this thread where you can watch videos to learn online if you have the resources to do so.

Good afternoon boss
Please forward those PDF python courses and MySQL PDF docs to my mail...

Thank you.

1st given their data to work on from home.
2nd was given their data plus theory which was executed in their office
3rd was given their data which I also did from home.

Just understand the data being thrown at you is to check whether you are capable or not and to know how you think about data. Questions on the data are always direct

Pls can you give more insight on this interview process
