These two things if directed perfectly towards execution could make me a good DS really in just one year! Circa eyChoose a language: Python and R programming have been one of the best-supported languages since 2014 for Machine Learning and Data Science due to their ease of use and vast support of an exhaustive list of libraries to literarily do anything with just a very few lines of code. The above google trends graph shows how popular these languages were on the google search engine. One can try out both languages and explore which one suits you better and which one you think could help you more for your job profile later. Some people would even learn both but for time being, I would choose Python between them based on my requirements.

A few resources to learn Python as per my experience are youtube: Sentdex or Corey Schafer. Other than that I would prefer taking a month pack on DataCamp and try out my hands-on python lessons or for free, LearnPyhon.org would also have helped the same. Get familiar with applied mathematics Anyone can make a machine learning model work with just 3-4 lines of code but have you ever thought what's going on behind the scene. The core of a machine learning algorithm hosts the mathematics running behind and making it work for us. Support ofTo do that we need to be very clear with the core mathematics like Linear Algebra, explaining to me the geometric intuition of each and every algorithm and how can I even make my own model with the understanding of algebra and vector system. Topics such as understanding the matrix algebra and vector system which can be used in Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and many other mathematical models.

Podcasts basically help us to build well attainable data literacy to communicate our data stories with everyone. A good list of podcasts one can listen regularly is here out of which I personally would prefer DataFramed by Hugo-Bownie or SuperDataScience Podcast by Kirill Eremenko or sometimes DataHack Radio on sound cloud for day to day basis. Reading Machine Learning Books “Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.” — Jim Rohn Reading books is one of the most important things which I should do this year to enhance my learning. I should say this, if you are a book lover then books are one of the best sourcesgood books which I would suggest reading are: 1. Python for Data Analysis, 2. An Introduction to Statistical Learning, 3. Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow, 4, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher M. and Bishop, 5.

Whereas bachelor’s degrees take between four and five years, with half of your coursework dedicated to gaining a general knowledge of many subjects, a master’s degree takes two years and concentrates exclusively on your area. What’s more, you may have the opportunity to specialize in an aspect of data science, such as bioinformatics or big data.
