GETTING STARTED: TIPS IN HELPING YOU TO START A CAREER IN DATA SCIENCE

INTRODUCTION

                          Its 2022, I mean we are still in the pandemic and its kind of getting worse every time we discover a new variant, and more lockdowns might be initiated because of this multiple variants, we are hoping the vaccines will help us curb it soon, until the arrival of the omicron variants and it really changed the odds of the virus leaving us, since more lockdowns will be initiated ,I think it is the perfect time for you to get some skills you really need ?,common !, you don’t want to waste those months of lockdown, lets learn Data science, When talking about the world of programming, data science is one of those few parts that makes up that world and it is just based mostly on knowing how to analyze data and being able to control it to make effective use of it in areas where needed ,I know you might feel it is so hard to learn, the moment when you hear programmers spend days finding datasets or even those crazy algorithm codes can make you question the sanity of data scientists, so we have broken the easiest way for you to learn data science in just few steps. 

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

                           Now, when talking about Data science that’s a lot of areas and we are not going to be discussing all the areas to the depth, but the face level should be just fine, under data science we have got different parts of it, depending on what you want to learn, we have the Data analysis, Machine learning, Big data ,Artificial Intelligence and more, When taking courses on Data science, the best essential programming language to start with is python, I mean, you could do a lot with python, it is a generalized programming language versatile in any form of application, and it can be run on any platform, so you don’t need to have a laptop to begin a python classes, There are phone Apps to aid you in your learning process, if you start with python, you can start to build apps, then Data Extractors ,then to even a full fledged app or website ,then if you really want to be involved in data analysis, you can learn R programming and start to program Charts, or you can learn how to extract data and gather it, you can do this by learning PHP and SQL, after learning those programming languages, you can learn advanced ones like POWER BI or even TABLEAU and so on, as long as you are versatile in the aspect you want to learn 

TOPS APPS TO USE

                                To start a career in Data science, you would need to get your hands on some Apps to help you learn it faster and to aid you in handline projects, you even need apps to help you run those codes cause you can’t just run it like a normal android app or system app, you can download Apps from the play store, Apps that have the programming language listed above, Mobile Apps like Mimo, sololearn, Programming hub and more, it will help you a lot, they have lessons, quizzes and challenges that can help you to build a strong foundation in the programming language you are learning, if you are using a PC, you can try to download the python software itself and run it from your PC, and you can use the visual studio code, you can download R studio ,you can also use Android studio, Some of Those apps have communities which can help you to contact other programmers and even fulfill tasks yourself, you can get these Apps either for free or paid, most of these apps can be found on the Google play store or Apkpure.

 

TIPS TO AID YOU AS YOU GO

                        You are starting to get real with Data Science and you are getting the hang of it, you should have tried few examples and few projects to help you learn and to get better in working in the aspect you wish to be good in, sometimes you might have difficulty progressing due to the fact that you don’t understand some concepts yet and it might take time, You should try to join a programming community to aid you in your learning process, it will help you to get help from experts who are just as versatile as you, you can also check their projects and learn from it, and if you post your projects they can correct your errors for you too, you can join platforms such as Reddit, Stack overflow, and more, you can also start to integrate other programming languages with python to make your workflow easy and smooth, just try which one works for you the best, You can also join some programming telegram channel and work on projects that are given out, try your luck and deliver if it is freelance, you can go to freelancing platforms and try to get jobs, post links to your projects too and continue to try online challenge like hackathons and quizzes, continue on that path and you should be a pro in no time, you can create tutorials ,so you can learn from people, people do say as you learn the advanced, you forget the basics, so it helps you learn more and revise So, we have gone through some few steps to help you in starting your career as a programmer, trust me, it isn’t easy to start, but it gets easier once you get the hang of it, keep on going, don’t give up, you can be stuck for days, but once you solve the problem, it gets easier and better, Enjoy your break, Programmer ! and happy new year
