How I Learned Data Science in 175 Days as A Complete Beginner
Data analysis of my Dataquest learning curve

However, I'm going to attempt to provide some “clues” I gathered from parsing and analyzing the weekly accomplishment emails from Dataquest, in addition to the Data Scientist in Python curriculum I scraped from the Dataquest website.

Before I get carried away with numbers, I want to pay tribute to the awesome Dataquest Community, the best online learning community in my experience. It has been a year of grief, but in the Dataquest community, I see people from all over the world trying their best to learn and help each other every day.
One of my biggest incentives to do this project is to encourage beginners on this journey by giving them a peek into the road ahead. Please keep in mind though, the time and effort to complete this course is highly relevant to personal…
