From mindaslab at protonmail.com Tue Aug 7 23:54:28 2018 From: mindaslab at protonmail.com (Karthikeyan A K) Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2018 03:54:28 +0000 Subject: [Python-africa] [Promotion] Book for Data Science Aspirants Message-ID: Hello Python people, Two years ago, my profession changed, I had to do data science work. When I started it, I (though I knew Python) found it to be extremely difficult and I had these doubts: What to learn? Where to learn? Am I doing things right? Where can I find a person who would guide me in the right path? Were the questions that arose in my mind. I had no proper guide and it was pain. So I wrote this book "How To Become A Data Scientist" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYVTNX7 , a guide for those who would like to become Data Scientist. I have crystallized two years of my struggle and answers to it in this book. I hope this book would help you. - Karthikeyan A K -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
