What are your favorite data courses or tutorials you ever took?

[shaihulud]

I'm searching for new and good courses on the topics of data science and python. I have looked through the Tutorial section on here but couldn't find anything that popped out (I only found one post). So my question is, are there any courses or tutorials out there in this area where you learned something? For example scraping methods with python or projects to learn some data science techniques?

I don't know where to look, if someone can help me out please feel free to share your experiences. I finally have some time available and want to learn new things. Appreciate any help I can get.

Learning pandas was like the best or at least the one I got the most use out of. Langchain and RAG and data cleaning were fun hobby projects, but I'm not really using them a lot. NLP and Machine Learning are areas I have tried to make some experimental projects in, but I just don't have the hardware. Speeding up my Python with C and Rust was probably the next most valuable skill I picked up after Pandas, but again, I already knew C and was learning Rust.

Making dashboards is something I haven't explored yet, but I don't use Microsoft software, so Power BI isn't appealing. Neither is TSQL or Microsoft SQL Server in general, just due to the software being closed-source. For scraping, I just hit my head against the wall until I come write, I rewrote instant data scraper for usage with firefox.

sounds interesting! Thanks for the tips. Do you have any recommended courses or resources I should take?

I just browse

sanet.st

(you can xray search sanet thats the main reason). if I find something I like I come see if Farid has it here or go to one of these to get

https://github.com/GrootBlouNaai/Course-Piracy-Index

YouTube has a handful of freemium stuff too.

By xray search I mean a boolean string search of a targeted site from my search engine of choice:

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=Site%3Asanet.st+%22python%22&ia=web

DW does support boolean searches but I tend to have varied success with discovery, if I know what I am looking for DW boolean support is great.
