“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them” ~ ARISTOTLE
Due to the comprehensive nature of data science, which is blended with mathematics, statistics, economics, and computer science along with domain experience, hacking mindset and business implication skills, we could not find a single place where we can learn altogether, but there are tons of great online resources out there we can pick up separately and study them to become a master in data science field. If we want to expertise on this sector grab those courses from various online resources.
The challenge here is how can we choose and work on those tutorials in a smart way, Enrolling those sessions and watching videos is not only the method of doing but also we should keep on practice them on different exercise related techniques provided by those contributors on such platforms. Most of the interactive platforms offering their contents online for practice, like quiz sections, problem sets, and free datasets available for download.
Not only concentrate on technical aspects, in addition we have to put our continuous focus on various methodologies of big data analytics related to different industries perspective, because most of the companies are looking for business-savvy professionals who are well versed with industry related knowledge, more over now a day’s big data has been advancing and revolutionizing each and every sector.
I arranged below some of the best online platforms with related courses, where you can learn and practice on those topics to become a data science wizard, some of the unique features of all these courses are free to enrol and most of the providers offering accomplishment certificates by associating with their partners.
