Don’t assume everyone in here is a “fella” 🙄
For IDE go with PyCharm and you can download Jupiter notebooks for quick prototyping of code
“Python, from zero to hero”. It’s a series of videos on Python, from basics to more advanced concepts. Google it. It’s worth it.
Fellas? Lol
Udemy has classes online
Mitopencourseware intro to CS or install python and rewrite the last c# code you did in python. You learn coding by coding, and you learn real life coding by doing real life coding.
Given you know java and C# you should pick it up quickly
Corrected E1..
"learn python the hard way" might be too basic if you're well versed in the other languages, but will give you a quick overview of Syntax.
Depending on what online platform your firm provides access to, Deloitte offers Lynda which has a python engineer track. You'd probably be able to skip the initial lessons and go to the more advanced ones and focus on more optimization topics. It has something like 72 classes total, so you can pick and choose to supplement your skill set.
Coursera and edx both have applied classes for python for data science. Haven't taken them but I imagine they're decent applications for you.
Go do stuff. Use some public API to connect to some app or public data set, parse it, transpose or transform it, and then write it to some target db or file. That covers about 80% of what data analytics entails. Ok I made that number up, but you get the point. Just doing stuff is about the best way to learn programming languages and software these days
Yeah if you already know programming fundamentals just do some projects/challenges - the Euler Challenge isn't bad
I get doing is the best. I use alteryx and R for my analytics needs. But I want to get a solid understanding in fundamental concepts of the language like different platforms and libraries. I don’t even know GUI to install and therefore stuck. Thanks for the links will look into it
Just to add - get to know what ‘pythonic’ means!
Just do everything in vim and run in terminal
C1 do you have a bunch of settings for vim to handle the tabs and other stuff? Only a hard core vim person would say that it’s easier than Jupyter
pythonprogramming.net has great, practical demos for intermediate-advanced users
I started python course on udemy for 10$ ..it actually machine learning with python..hence it has initial few sessions which teaches basic python ...cant hurt for 10$. There is only python course else well. But like you since I knew java from school, i would have been bored
