can u recommend a course for python data science?

[@LeonLokk]

Unfortunately I don't have anything off the top of my head right now, but you could probably find some good ones on Coursera or Udemy. Some universities offer good online courses too.

Hello can you please tell me should I take admission in bachelor of data science?

[@LeonLokk]

I don't know much about data science bachelor's degrees so I can't comment much on this one. Like all courses though, you should check the course structure carefully and make sure that there's also enough practical content.

nice! Python is great

[@LeonLokk]

Thanks Morris! I agree, Python is a great language :)

Your opinion could mislead people if I'm honest. Black and white logic doesn't help people see the truth easily. Whether R or Python depends on problems you're solving and the team culture.

[@LeonLokk]

Thanks for the feedback. I'd add that it also depends on the infrastructure you work with, and since (at least from what I've seen) most companies prefer having a more general infrastructure, Python seems to be the more logical choice for a data science team to use.
