Probably more factoring in training time. Any good recs? Any courses or other?

while we’re on the topic, is there a ‘crash course’ project folks would recommend which would cover a majority of python focus areas?

I would recommend finding an interesting problem and throwing whatever at it to solve it. Whatever problem you have, you can expand it to learn the relevant part of Python, alongside other tools even.

I was interested in my music taste compatibility with someone else’s. So started googling around how to extract data from Spotify, analyse the data etc. The project grew quickly to involving ML, SQL, OOP, AWS, Tableau and basically learnt all the skills by taking it one step at a time. Took me ~6 weeks but so much fun and my interviewers always try it out

do you have any programming knowledge?

Any good recs?

You better be an expert bs’er because 4 weeks is not enough. Hands on hands on is all I can recommend.

Thanks! Any chance you know it's of good bootcamps? I have good base and more than a month factoring training and some vacation I had preplanned.
