Although Microsoft Excel is the most fundamental tool for practicing data analysis and data science projects for beginners; it has a scalability problem wherein it cannot accommodate data sizes exceeding a certain limit. For this, beginners and data science aspirants are recommended to use Python as a platform for practising data science skills. They can download the required data sets from Kaggle or other open data sources (such as government statistics sites etc.), import them to Python, and perform high-end analysis on them.

I’m assuming that you know already about the must-have skills.

The best way to practice/ implement those skills would be:

  • Working on real-life based projects
  • Participating in competitions
  • Solving Programming Challenges

Recommended Sources:

  • Python & R based Projects ideas that you can find easily on the internet.
  • Kaggle Competitions.
  • HackerRank, HackerEarth (coding challenges).

Important Tip: Always keep yourself updated about the latest Data Science industry trends.
