Data Science Roadmap
- To become a data scientist, learn the necessary things
- College degree not strictly required, basic math understanding sufficient
- Resources for each subject are available at the end of the document
Requirements
-
Statistics and Maths:
- Learn linear algebra from resources like Queen Mary University of London
- Understand basic concepts like mean, median, mode, and dy/dx
- Review probability and statistics using a book like by William Hines
- Focus on normal distribution and optimization
- Learn about Gradient Descent and Graphs
-
Programming (Python):
- Python is recommended as the first programming language
- Use online resources like 100 Days of Code by CodeWithHarry
- Learn basic Python concepts, data science libraries (NumPy, Pandas)
- Free resources and paid courses on platforms like Udemy and Amazon are available
- Practice creating quick data reports
-
Databases:
- Learn CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on different database technologies like MySQL, MongoDB, PyMongo, SQLAlchemy.
- Pick the technology based on data fetching needs
-
Machine Learning:
- Transition to Machine Learning after gaining proficiency in Python and data science projects
- Use resources like "Hands-on ML with Scikit-learn and TensorFlow" and relevant project videos
- Update knowledge by following relevant guides on GitHub or other platforms.
-
Linux and Git:
- Learn basic Linux commands using videos like from CodeWithHarry
- Learn version control using Git and how to use it to share code with GitHub
-
Optional Tools:
- Consider AWS for cloud-based solutions, web scraping using BeautifulSoup, and tools like Tableau or Excel VBA based on needs
