Never forget that Data Science is a broad term that includes many people with varied skills.

This means that many online lists of “skills you must know” often contradict each other or list an infinite amount of skills. The good part is that almost everything required to learn and do data science (software, courses, websites to give information on latest trends and best practices in data science, websites which provide mock data sets, websites which host competitions) are available on the internet for FREE!  If you are a beginner and want to know more about Python and R programming language then do refer the following video tutorials: 

You can get a hands-on project by referring to this Data Science certification which will teach you Data Science from scratch to advance.
