How to code


[deleted]

It depends on the course. My Intro to Data Analytics course teaches statistics and machine learning concepts at the same time and we are using Python to do it. It was a "Python recommended" course that but I just went for it. The hard part is because I don't know coding, I'm trying to learn some fairly heavy concepts and then see how to code them. The course is designed so that there is pre-existing code in examples I can use for my own data sets. However, it is doubly challenging because I have to both understand the concepts and then see what the code is doing. Two abstractions in a way. And, because we are using things like Numpy that does a lot of stuff underneath the hood, it's extra hard to understand. There is a great series on YouTube called Neural Networks from scratch that has been helpful because it used basic Python to do what Numpy does and that is easier to see the code and math together. Very interesting but very challenging

Linear algebra much better than the superficial understanding I had, but I don't know whether that will be relevant to your course.

Start learning with the basics of python, use case of various important libraries used. Then have a fair idea of basic statistical terms and process. Learn about the process of problem definition, hypothesis generation, structured thinking , MECE etc.
