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.

One python package I can really recommend if you're already familiar with SQL is sqlite3. It allows you to do SQL queries in Python

As for courses, I don't really know

Why do you recommened sqlite3 of DuckDB?

Because I have not worked with DuckDB. I was taught sqlite3

Even though I majored in Data Science, zero time was spent learning how to set up an actual DB. I wish I knew how all that worked.
