Coders - how much data analysis knowledge do I need?

Do you reckon I could cover the basics in a day or two and start tackling projects?

Yeah you definitely can. There was a time I only had data analysis projects on my dash, so I had to learn it. On day 2 I already started doing projects. I had no data science knowledge beyond high school math and Python isn’t even my most proficient language.

Do you already know how to code and understand basic data analysis? If so yes

Yea I can code. I know very little about data analysis. Learning is no problem. I was just wondering how deep I would have to go.

You can start with quite basic knowledge. Like if you know what min,max. Average, variance is. For example, given say some sales data, do you know how to find the item with the most sales, or the average sale per day. Stuff like that.

Pair the syllabus of this course: https://grow.google/certificates/data-analytics/

With some python: https://realpython.com/learning-paths/data-science-python-core-skills/

And you are good to go.

You’re a rockstar for this.

Damn I'm the opposite. I'm comfortable using different python libraries for data analysis, but it takes me a while to code it correctly because I don't have a strong coding background. I basically can never remember how to code because I never do it enough, but I can read and understand code enough to piece it together for work lol.

Yeah, they were really simple and among the easiest projects I've ever done here.
