Question

Coming from a DBA background, what programming languages and tools should I concentrate on learning to become a skilled Data Scientist?

Answer 1

Transitioning from a DBA background to Data Science, focus on learning Python or R for data analysis, manipulation, and machine learning. Familiarize yourself with libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-Learn. Also, learn data visualization tools like Matplotlib and Seaborn, and SQL for data querying. Understanding statistics and machine learning concepts will be essential for successful data analysis and modeling.
