Apologies if this question is overdone here, I’m new and would appreciate any help.
I’m on the job hunt now, I’m already an experienced data analyst in marketing research, but I want to add basic Python to my skillset – because it would add a lot to my workflow as well as my resume. But I’m hoping to get up and running with it within a few weeks – only at a beginner level, but a functional one.
What is a realistic timeline, you think?
I do have some transferable knowledge. I have basic SQL experience (accessing data bases, inner & outer joins, etc), as well as a working understanding of Boolean Logic, and a lot of experience in statistic analysis such as crosstab analysis, A/B Testing, Z-Testing, etc. With a little experience with SPSS.
In terms of Python, my experience is limited to basically just entering a series of queries and commands into a database my coworkers prepared (my specialty was in other research areas) – so I’m essentially starting from square one.
If I have a few hours a day, at least a few days a week, could I reach a functional beginner level of Python by, say, mid January as I job hunt? I’m starting with the Khan Academy intro course but am considering a free online Python course offered by a university near me.
Thoughts? And thanks again!
