How to take your first step of data analysis…
Hello everyone! I hope if you are digging in this article because you have heard about data analysis or want to learn data analysis. Although, there are many resources to learn data analysis , here I will mention the easily and simple steps to dive in this.
Before this, I would like to advise that if u want to be a real data analyst, data scientist or some role of data related u need to be enthusiastic, hard work and continuous learning is very important.
What are the processes of data analysis?
- To ask the right question?
- Acquire the raw data
- Clean ,prepare and extract the actual working data(data wrangling)
- Transform the final data(ETL process)
- Visualizing the data(using appropriate graph)
- Stastical analysis
- Develop the data model
- Create report
These are the steps to get through. It starts from the understanding of what it needs by asking the right question and ends with recommended story, recommendation and report.
I have mentioned a little bit acknowledge about data analysis, its processes and role. Now , it is time to know to make your first step to dive in data analysis. According to my experience I have learn my first data analysis course form online platform which is called ‘Jovian.ai’ .At this site, it give a free data analysis course with practical exercises. The course instructor is Ex’ developer at Twitter. This is a great course for learning data analysis. They have also released two more course (Machine learning & Deep learning) courses.
Here are course detail…
Course Title:Data Analysis with Python: Zero to Pandas
Course duration:at least 3weeks(depend on learning)
Course lessons:
- Lesson 1 — Introduction to Programming with Python
- lesson 2— Next Steps with Python
