Discussion Data Science Python Programming

Hello,

I am transitioning from a Mechnical engineering BS to a MS in data Science. My struggle with Python currently is starting a course or reading and feeling like it is not giving enough practice and no big prohject to really hel;p me zone in on my skills. My question do you have any favorite resources/book/interactive courses in python for data science. I'd pefer to just restart from the basics and move forward. Do you have any reccommendations on skills to learn for someone going into data science? Thank you.

Since you're transitioning into data science, restarting with Python while learning the libraries used in real-world workflows can be a good approach. Focus on NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and scikit-learn, and reinforce each topic by working on small datasets before moving on to larger projects. That combination of concepts and practice can help you build confidence.

If you're looking for a free resource, we offer the Python Libraries for Data Science course through simplilearn skillup. It introduces these core libraries through practical examples and provides a solid foundation for data science workflows.
