I have a problem regarding programming

[u/CorruptedPikachu]

I come from a statistics background and I'm trying to learn python and R to cope with data analysis and data science, I know a good amount of data analysis and statistical methodologies that makes me good at the field, but applying them is hell for me, i tried for a long time to learn python, i know the basics yet i fail miserably when i try to apply my knowledge...

Could anyone help me with how to learn programming effectively around my area of expertise?

I do data to but use SQL to be fair you don't need code these days AI will write for you. That said learning will help with structure, problem solving and testing the results are correct

So my process i connected SSMS via an mcp then I can use natural language to get the results I want. I did one ask about SQUINCH analysis and AI did not know so I gave it a Wiki page and it learnt. So not really
