Day 2 : Starting with Python For Data Science

Setting up the environment

First of all you need to install Python

Download Python from   here

Now that we have installed Python on our computer, we need to get an IDE for writing code. Personally I prefer PyCharm by JetBrains. You may use Atom and etc.

Download  PyCharm Community  Edition from   here 

If you know programming, this part shouldn't be very difficult for you. You can skim through the notes, get familiarize with the syntax and you may even write some snippet of code to get comfortable. However, if you do not know programming in any other language. I would suggest you to first complete a programming course before going ahead. If you want to build your basics and understanding of computer science and programming I would suggest you to complete CS 50 course by Harvard.

This shall provide you the basic understanding of Python. I my self practiced some sorting algorithms in python to get comfortable with it. Will share them in future posts.

Enjoy !
