I am doing my b.com right now but I am very much interested to become a data scientist can you help me with this?
Data Science is a field where data ,algorithms and technology are used together to solve complex problems. It is one of the hottest trends in computer science and with growing data ,there are huge demands for data scientist.
To become a data scientist ,you can follow the following basic steps to proceed towards your career in data science :
* Learn programing. This is a basic and important step. For data science ,one of the most important language is the python language which is also commonly used and easier to learn when compared to other languages of data science. You can learn thought various online learning classes. You can take courses on Coursera.
* You can also learn the basics of Machine Learning . It would give you an idea of how data is used to train Machines to learn and understand data and used it to solve complex problems and find solutions.
* You can also go for competitive programming to improve your programming techniques . Sites such as Kaggle provide opportunities for learning to program on data science and machine learning .
* You can also join online communities for data Science as reading is one thing but learning from our peers and getting to clear your doubts and getting it explained to you is another thing .
* You can also learn the basics of statistics as data science is mostly about the statistics of data and information.
After this , keep practising and competing on Kaggle and with time ,once you improve your understanding and programming ,it will be your first few steps towards data science and your career in it .
