  • Every year, I like to refresh my advice about how I would go about learning data science from ground zero. The data domain is changing rapidly, and as my own knowledge grows, I think it is important to re-evaluate the approach that I would recommend.

    Starting off, I want to debunk the idea that you can “learn data science”. This implies that data science is a static subject that can be learned in its entirety. For better or for worse, data science is constantly evolving and growing. I don’t know a single person including myself, that could possibly know the whole field. Learning data science is a journey not a destination, and coming in with this mindset can make this process far more enjoyable for you.
    First, I would start with a learning map. You need to plan your learning journey. Next, I would start learning python. You need to understand the basics here. After that, I highly recommend looking at other peoples projects and work. Finally, focus on data science projects to engrain new topics!

    I used your project-based learning approach from last year's video to learn data science. After 15 months and 700 hours of learning (no online courses, just individual studying), I landed as job as a mid-level data scientist in financial fraud detection. Thank you! This video is spot-on. Especially your emphasis of building a roadmap and systematically updating it as you grow.
    2 not-obvious study habits which I found helpful:
    1. I kept multiple projects open so that after I went through a topic (e.g. feature selection), I could implement it in multiple projects.
    2. For each topic in my roadmap, I kept a date of when I last implemented the technique in a project. This helped me identify important topics which I had covered a while ago and might have partially forgotten, so that I could refresh my knowledge/skills.

    To anyone reading this, if you're looking to break into Data Science in 2022 I 100% recommend subscribing to Ken's channel and following his advice!!
    Back when COVID-19 started in 2020, I was looking to break into the field and I had no experience, no projects, and I didn't know where to start.
    6 MONTHS after subscribing to Ken's channel and soaking in all of his advice through his videos, I got a job as a Data analyst.

    Great advice on typing out other people's work. Myself as a beginner it's easy to get flustered on projects as some solutions/tools I have not yet been exposed to. By looking up other's solutions/work and typing them out it really helps me to understand the anatomy of the code. Furthermore, sometimes the solutions don't work as I am using python 3.10 and so I have to work out and start fishing around for the latest 'iteration' of the module/code and that actually helps to drive home the knowledge.

    This video is extremely accurate. I have had such a hard time learning how to be a data scientist. I am in a MS in Data Analytics program and feel that doesn't really provide any real direction. I don't know what I don't know and that keeps me from learning what I need to know. Seeing the path helps, thank you. I would like to say I have struggled to learn R and I seem to be getting SQL quickly and I think this will help my confidence. Getting one language down can help to learn another, just from a confidence standpoint.

    Thank you for your kind words for how to start on the path of data science. Glad to say I had already a list of short course and webinars I have completed and a list of one's I wish to advance up too. I to completely agree on what I call ' cut and paste and make it my own' version of projects in python. After doing a very poor course in python I stumbled my way through to taught myself by doing just as you said in your video, that opening a screen and just typing it out and running it. I am visual person so makeing it my own by styling was how I learnt the best. Loving the colour or direction of xlable I could control, my understanding and interest peaked. This then grew into wanting to graph better results, more complicated, while, ifs, else all started to become tools. Now seeing the hurdles at the start to the hurdles I over came I'm so proud to complete my course as I know I can build from this, I never know it but I know I can do it... Reminds me of cooking when I first left home, you just keep getting better the more you try and read up on it. If your at the start of your data career good luck.

    "When beginning with this projects, they don't have to be original. You can go through the exact same analysis that someone else did, and still learn something. But typical learning session could just be you having someone else's project on half the screen and you typing it line-by-line and running it on other half of the screen. As you do this you can change the parameters, you can experiment with different visuals and see how it works as you go."
    This one what i've been thinking for. i feel like i do nothing if i see someone's project and copy it to my notebook, but you just said it and i totally agree. we can experiment it with changing the code, maybe we use a different way to clean the data, or just define a function that others use repeated code, (a.k.a use DRY concept), and so on.

    Hi Ken! This is AWESOME - I've been a Data Scientist for a few years now and completely agree about constantly needing to learn and refresh the data science toolkit. I didn't start out working on ML models but my work led there over time and had to learn on the job. Just joined the #66DaysOfData challenge and discord for Day 1, really excited to dedicate time to explore the field more. Thanks so much!

    Thanks Ken, I took off with python basis last two years, within the space of 2 months, I was already in Pandas, and doing the Jupyter thing. Anyways everything poured on my face, and I just gave up. With this video I saw my mistakes. Roadmap. Starting with the basis and mastering them. Then you proceed. Spend as much time as you want to learn the basis. When your is strong, your building will last forever. Thanks again Ken.

    Great video! Seems like a very sensible roadmap for becoming a good data scientist. I'm here to comment because you said 6+ months to learn and I came to this video because I've only got a few days. I've got part-way through a recruitment process to be a data scientist and have a background only in maths and economics. I'm teaching myself python and SQL in about 4 days! Kaggle seems like an excellent resource to use on the fourth day, didn't know about it until watching this video. I hope this comment gives people a small chuckle at the task I've found myself with!

      @@KenJee_ds Had it today... I think it went well. They sent me Python and SQL code 24hrs in advance for me to talk through in the interview. The rest of the interview was logic questions, suggesting solutions to extracting the correct information from tables (spoken, not code) and data table comprehension. I'd say the talking about the code was my weakest area, which is not surprising, but I gave it a good shot. A key thing I missed was you could assign values of another column into a sliced dataframe. The slice was checking a logical impossibility that might come up from inconsistent data and replacing it with a correction... which I basically misunderstood and thought was an incorrectly written slice. Hopefully my immediate "Oh you can assign new values into a slice" as soon as they pointed that out was clear enough that it was just I hadn't learned that was possible yet. They knew I'd taught myself everything in a few days, so took that into account.
      Hoping to hear back from them soon. I'm feeling sheepishly hopeful

    The hardest thing for me is knowing when I've learned enough to actually get a decent job where I'm not starting back from the bottom. I started my career as engineer doing predictive health monitoring for aircraft components and picked up some basic machine learning regressions with matlab's toolboxes. Then I got really heavy into statistics and got my six sigma black belt to help with R&D and process monitoring of additive manufacturing. On the side, I started using Python to build a few different helpful models, but the main one has been a motocross/supercross race result predictor that uses xgboost and the bradley-terry model; I post the results as a way to bring people to my side hustle's site to buy other products; the model does really well. With all that, I still find myself uncertain when looking around at jobs

It’s one thing to know how to say “the dog walked to the park” in a random language. It’s another thing entirely to express my own thoughts in said language. I could learn the grammar and the words by reading, but I would only become able to read it at best. I need hands on projects to work on. Not only to help me learn but to create a portfolio.
