5 Short Practical Data Science Courses

Boosting your data science skills with these 5 short courses

Data science is a very broad field, that requires a wide spectrum of skills and tools to be able to advance your career. Therefore, it is important to build a habit of learning and gaining more skills throughout your career. As James Clear mentions in his amazing book Atomic Habits:

It is so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis. Too often, we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action. Whether it is losing weight, building a business, writing a book, winning a championship, or achieving any other goal, we put pressure on ourselves to make some earth‑shattering improvement that everyone will talk about.

Meanwhile, improving by 1 percent isn’t particularly notable — sometimes it isn’t even noticeable — but it can be far more meaningful, especially in the long run. The difference a tiny improvement can make over time is astounding. Here’s how the math works out: If you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty‑seven times better by the time you’re done. Conversely, if you get 1 percent worse each day for one year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero. What starts as a small win or a minor setback accumulates into something much more.

Inspired by this mentality, I will be recommending five short courses monthly that can be finished…
