Why Learn Python For Data Science?

Before we explore how to learn Python for data science, we should briefly answer why you should learn Python in the first place.

In short, understanding Python is one of the valuable skills needed for a data science career.

Though it hasn’t always been, Python is the programming language of choice for data science. Here’s a brief history:

  • In 2016, Python replaced Java as the most popular language in colleges and universities and has never looked back

  • In 2016, it overtook R on Kaggle, the premier platform for data science competitions.

  • In 2017, it overtook R on KDNuggets’s annual poll of data scientists’ most used tools.

  • In 2018, 66% of data scientists reported using Python daily, making it the number one tool for analytics professionals.

  • In 2019 IEEE Spectrum (world’s largest professional organization dedicated to applied science and engineering) has ranked Python at the top of the list of ‘top programming languages in 2019’

  • Tiobe analysts believe that within three to four years' time, Python will "probably replace C and Java" to become the most popular programming language in the world

  • In 2021, the Python programming language will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Completing three decades in the niche, Python gives most other programming languages a good thrashing, showing a 456% growth

Data science experts expect this trend to continue with increasing development in the Python ecosystem. And while your journey to learn Python programming may be just beginning, it’s nice to know that employment opportunities are abundant (and growing) as well.

According to Indeed, the average salary for a Data Scientist is $127,918.

The good news? That number is only expected to increase. The experts at IBM predicted a 28% increase in demand for data scientists by the year 2021.

So, the future is bright for data science, and Python is just one piece of the proverbial pie. Fortunately, learning Python and other programming fundamentals is as attainable as ever.

But remember – just because the steps are simple doesn’t mean you won’t have to put in the work. If you apply yourself and dedicate meaningful time to learning Python, you have the potential to not only pick up a new skill, but potentially bring your career to a new level.
