How To Learn Data Science In 8 Easy Steps
Before starting the discussing on how to learn Data science
& what are career paths, let’s talk what is data science? Data science is a
buzzword but let me tell you it’s more than a buzzword it can take your career
on to next level in very easy steps. It is a simple definition but must be easy
to understand. But to become a Data Scientist, you have to learn 8 set of skill
at-least and they are as follow:
1.Identifying Data And The Problem.
2.Programming Language
3.Database
4.Machine Learning
5.Visualization Tool
6.Big Data Basics
7.Problem Solving
8.Communication Skill ( Most Important)
Yes! We know after reading this, you must be thinking how
the hell it is easy it has a course itself in every point. Big Courses that is.
Well, let us make a few points to make it easy for you.
1.Highest paying job
2.You don’t need all at once
3.You learn one by one each tool, Just learn and master it
later
4.Communication… this part is most important which people
don’t give weight-age as you have to explain the data and your find outs to the
whole team.
So Let Me Start With All The Steps
1. Identifying Data And The Problem
What we call to know your domain and be clear about the
keyword you gonna face again and again from the domain. Then try to figure what
is it the client wanna know for real.
2. Programming Language
We got 3 options for you, you can choose from 3 languages
1.Sas
2.R
3.Python.
But we all know if you choose python, that will be the best
decision and if another language is your thing, you can choose that too without
thinking too deep into it. All languages get the job done so do not worry about
it. Just choose one and be good at it.
3. Database
Choose one to just be able to handle the database and be
able to manage the required job. Choose SQL, NoSQL but again if we have to
suggest I think PostgreSQL is better and it works awesome with python.
4. Machine Learning
No machine learning project ever work without converting
every word to the digit. Just saying, but you must know machine learning is a
stop if you want to complete data science project this is almost the last
technical step we have in any project.
5. Visualization Tool
Most important part if you have a non-technical people as
audience, these tools allow you to get the job done in a more interactive way,
images are the beast when you want to explain a work or any topic. Even a
10-year-old child of predicting what’s happening when it sees a painting,
Right!.
6. Big Data Basics
The database is the backbone of starting any work and you
have to work accordingly. So knowing some big data concept can be a game
changer for you.
7. Problem Solving
You did all that just to solve a problem someone has so that
should be the goal in each step, the solution should be precise and to the
point and 100-time crystal clear to understand. Always remember that the one
who is sitting in front of you while you are explaining can be anyone. It may
be your client, a salesperson, someone technical or maybe someone completely
non-technical. That is why communication plays an important role you a person
of any mental level should be able to understand your comment in the first
shot.
8.Communication Skill ( Most Important)
Why did I said it’s the most important step to cover, well
because without this mastery your solution is useless and all work what you
will do, that will be zero because as you know people must be able to
understand exactly what you are trying to say. The first thing about
communication is people must understand what you are trying to communicate to
them, Isn’t it.`
Conclusion
Well, We tried to cover as an easy way of explaining as
possible to become a data scientist with all the required steps you need to
take. Will bring more knowledge to this domain keep following ITLEARN360. Thank
you and see you soon.
Bonus Tip
For becoming a data scientist, you don’t have to master all
above, just basic of most are required and you can start learning the skill
with working okay.
Happy Learning !!!
