Becoming a Data Scientist - Curriculum via Metromap ← Pragmatic Perspectives

One thing is for sure; you cannot become a data scientist overnight. Its a journey, for sure a challenging one. But how do you go about becoming one? Where to start? When do you start seeing light at the end of the tunnel? Given how critical visualization is for data science, ironically I was not able to find (except for a few), pragmatic and yet visual representation of what it takes to become a data scientist.

How to Get Started in Data Science

I think the short answer is: as with any technical role, it isn’t necessarily easy or quick, but if you’re smart, committed and willing to invest in learning and experimentation, then of course you can do it. In a previous post, I described my view on “What is a data scientist?” : it’s a hybrid role that combines the “applied scientist” with the “data engineer”. Many developers, statisticians, analysts and IT professionals have some partial background and are looking to make the transition into data science. And so, how does one go about that? Java Developers If you’re a Java developer, you are familiar with software engineering principles and thrive on crafting software systems that perform complex tasks.

A good first step is to understand the various algorithms in machine learning: which algorithms exist, which problems they solve and how they are implemented. Python Developers Statisticians and applied scientists Business analysts.
