SO, YOU WANT TO BECOME A DATA SCIENTIST...WHAT TOOLS ARE FOR YOU?

So you do want to become a Data scientist? Well, you are going to need some tools whether you admit it or not. Picking the best tools for all your programming journey is a very important decision to make and today, I will help you make it.

Machine learning, and data science, are the buzzwords on the streets of technology right now. So we want to get into data science/ ML but we do not know what tools to pick because they are so many.

First of all, you need to have a GitHub account to be storing all your projects no matter what tool you will be using. Do you want to know why I recommend GitHub? Because you are allowed to create a portfolio landing page for free on GitHub and that is going to give you a very competitive edge.

Then we get to the second phase of the journey which is deciding what part of the profession you want to be in. Is it analytics or analysis? If you do decide on analysis then you can decide to go for the normal tools like:-

• Excel
• PowerBI
• Tableau

And the rest of the non-coding tools which you will deem fit for your journey or profession.

If you decide it’s going to be Analytics then this is where you need all the tools in the world. These tools may include:-

• Python
• R programming language
• Pipeline-building Clouds like Azure etc.

Once you decide on that, the next thing is t decide your daily practice which is picking the study or daily contribution schedule then afterward you can pick a project management tool for example:-

• Asana
• ClickUp
• To-doist
• Notion?

Then we get to the last part which is picking the best tool to use to build in public. This will help with your commitment issues and also being consistent. So for most programmers, we like Twitter but you can also pick any other platform that works for you.

And that’s it! The ultimate guide to picking the best tools to get started with your data profession and that's just it. Hoping you will pick the best tools and get your journey started. All the best!
