Python

I’m in the thick of learning python and it is really NOT that easy. Lol.

I’m having some trouble comiting code to memory, so I’m clearly going to have to study, study, study. I do like that the work is challenging and I’m eager to use this in a new position. I’ve done data management for years, however, pulling data is new for me. I have some HTML experience, but I do not see how that will help with learning python.

Coursera

The advanced data analytics course is going well. I’m enjoying it thus far. Does anyone have any other programming or data courses to recommend? I am hoping to move into a position within Data Science soon.

Coursera – Worth it?

I have taken Coursera.org classes in pursuit of a Coursera certificate in the past. It did not yield great results after certificate completion, but I recently saw one that I think might be better career wise. At least from a programming perspective. I’m going to give it a try. Have any of you gotten their certificates and been able to advance further?

I’d love to hear any stories about how receiving these certifications have changed your lives.

quick aside – why was the data field using mental illness in Atlanta as a marketing tactic? Schizophrenia and data analytics? How does that work?
