Good morning, I have become very passionate about the world of data analysis and I would like to look for work in this field.
Starting from scratch, is it better to take courses Relational Database, Back End Development and APIs, Scientific Computing with Python first?
Or start from Data Analysis with Python?
After finishing Data Analysis with Python, by taking the course Machine Learning with Python, do you end up in the field of Data Scientist?
Thank you so much for all possible information :slight_smile:

Well starting with Python is a good start because alot of data analyst use python (numpy, pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborn) and then you can also lookin to Data Visualization and databases like Sql.

I think if you work on developing your skills in Python libraries and Sql you will be on your way to becoming a Data Analystđź‘Ť
