A multi-course professional certificate on Coursera from IBM covering data science fundamentals, including Python, data manipulation, and an introductory machine learning module. It is presented as a hands-on, self-paced crash course for beginners.
Commenters point to it as a practical, hands-on way into data science with Python, often recommended as a first step before Andrew Ng's machine learning course.

1. Master the prerequisite skills like Basic Mathematics, Statistics 2. Develop specialist AI skills: AI implementation requires a sound understanding of programming. Knowing how to write code allows you to develop AI algorithms, manipulate data, and use AI tools and libraries. Python ( 100 days…
Do a few data science courses on coursera. Thats what I did. I did the Google and IBM ones. Thats a good start and it pretty cheap also.
Look up Andrew Ng! His course is free and offered through Coursera, and it comes with a certification! Many Silicon Valley employers actually favor people taught by Professor Ng! Another course you can do is from IBM (Also on Coursera) just look up IBM and it should pop up. I recommend learning…
Get on coursera and take the IBM Data Science courses. They have stuff in DS, ML+AI and very reasonable rates (like $39-49 per month, depending on how fast you pass the lessons)
I'm in no way an expert but I've done both. courses. In my opinion: Complete the IBM data science certification (includes the ML module too), then do Andrew NG's Coursera course. The IBM is a little more hands-on with Python, while Andrew's course is more technical and focused on how the…
Take some Coursera courses for "data science". Both Google and IBM have classes for that on that platform. They are not expensive, maybe $40 a month, and it's self-paced. You can do a whole week's worth in a single day if you push yourself. I think I finished one of those courses in 2 weeks, but I…
The short answer is... go take "data science" classes. And IBM Cloud account is free, and gives you access to a small virtual machine running IBM Watson for you to do simple ML, like image classification, chatbots, and so on. If you need more guidance, IBM has some courses on Coursera. Not free…
I just responded this to another person so here you go to! I am by no means an expert here but here is what worked for me. Others can have a different journey so I just speak for myself here. (1) I actually first started studying around end of Dec - early Jan but I almost wasted a month because…
okay so I am by no means an expert here but here is what worked for me. Others can have a different journey so I just speak for myself here. (1) I actually first started studying around end of Dec - early Jan but I almost wasted a month because there was so much info online and I was just…
You can go take a class or two on Coursera. I think IBM has a certificate on Data Science you can get. Not sure how employable that makes you, but at least you won't be a complete neophyte.
Bootcamps are a VERY challenging environment, esp. the 'full-time' bootcamps. They have to force feed you a TON of concepts in a very short time. I was in a full stack boot camp and a couple guys dropped out the first week. I've taken data science classes, and while they are not exactly math…
Other than my stats text books no, lol but a great crash course I took was on Coursera. From AMII school called “Intro to Applied Machine Learning”. It gives a great intro to the type of math you’ll need without getting too complicated. If you want something a little more technical and…
