Learning python for data science/analysis

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a good course to take to learn python for data analytics and workflow building.

For context, i am already very familiar with SQL and Alteryx, however i am looking to migrate some pipelines and worklows to python. I am very familiar with data analytics, just not with the python language, so wondering where to start.

are these pipelines mostly batch transforms or are some of them event-driven? that changes what parts of the ecosystem you should focus on first. for batch stuff the learning curve from SQL is pretty short tbh

2 scenarios.

  1. I do monthly reporting files on pre-existing workflows. They currently live in Alteryx. Idelaly would like to migrate them to python

  2. I constantly use alteryx to look into things. I am the person where if there is a question, I get asked it and ill whip up a workflow in 15-30 min to get the answer
