Question

Can anyone tell me how much time it will take to learn python for Data Science?

Answer 1

Python is used in different fields such as web development, Data Science, Big Data, App Development, and Machine Learning.  It may take 4-5 months to learn Python by spending a minimum of 4 hours every day for a beginner.

First, start with learning the basics of Python such as:

• Functions
• Control structures (for loops, while loops, and if-else statements)
• Data types (Strings, Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries)
• Object-oriented programming (object, class, constructor, methods)

After getting familiar with basics, then learn the following essential Python libraries:

•  Pandas – for Data Cleaning, data manipulation, data analysis
•  NumPy – for Numerical computations and managing multi-dimensional arrays
•  SciPy – for linear algebra computations
•  Matplotlib and Seaborn – for data visualization
