python beginner needing help

Question

Hey guys, I would like to ask you for help so I can have some light on what to focus on or learn, I'm in doubt about what to do after taking the introductory course to Python, I wanted to focus on the data area, but I also wanted to create an AI and other artificial intelligence algorithms to automate asset trading strategies and other correlated things.

Answer 1

Pedro Schefer
A Python beginner aiming for data science and AI-driven algorithmic trading should first master

Python fundamentals: practice, data structures, object-oriented programming, and Git. For data science, focus on NumPy, Pandas, data visualization, SQL, and small projects.

The trading path requires strong math skills, machine learning expertise, time series analysis, backtesting, and risk management, beginning with simple strategies.

Combining these fields involves using data science to prepare data for AI trading models.

Resources like online courses and Kaggle are helpful, but consistent effort and a gradual increase in project complexity are essential for success.

Answer 2

First of I would recommend you to work out all here ofered python courses and praticing and solve all here ofered tasks.

Begin by selecting well-regarded AI books that serve as your foundational resources. Books provide structured content and a systematic introduction to AI concepts. Some recommended titles include "Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow" by Aurélien Géron and "Python Machine Learning" by Sebastian Raschka.

Learn a concept, understand it through examples, and immediately implement what you've learned in small AI projects. This hands-on approach reinforces your understanding and helps you internalize the concepts.

Answer 3

BroFar Yes.

Answer 4

Read automate the boring stuff with python, that teaches you lots of beginner to intermediate stuff. Use hugging face (or fast.ai) for AI, polars for data science, and matlotplib for graphs, and scipy for 3d simulations, I recommend books by ivan savov for mathematics, he explains it really well and is very easy to understand. Thats all you need, while it sounds like a little, this takes really long, but its all you need which is a good thing

Answer 5

By the way, automate the boring stuff with python costs money, all the libraries(scipy, polars, etc) can be learned by reading the docs. And finally, Ivan Savovs books cost money. Fast.ai and hugging face are free and csn be learnt by reading the docs

Answer 6

Nothingness I personally use a wide variety of modules / libraries including polars , so let's not get tangled up preferences.

Answer 7

BroFar Pandas are too inefficient, use polars instead
