A Beginner-to-Upper Intermediate Data Science Roadmap for 2025 #4: Python for Data Science
A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Start a Data Science Career In 2025
Whether you’re a recent graduate or a professional looking to make a career change, the field of Data Science and AI offers a wide range of exciting and lucrative opportunities.
In this series of articles, I will provide you with a comprehensive guide that provides a clear and actionable plan for building the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this growing field. By following the steps outlined in this roadmap, you’ll be well on your way to a successful and rewarding career in Data Science and AI.
This roadmap will take you to an upper intermediate level, and I truly believe you can land a job and start your career after finishing it. However, to go to an advanced level, you will need to take more in-depth courses, books, and research papers.
For each learning step, there will be compulsory material, optional material, and action points to make sure you put what you have learned into action. Also, there will be an estimated time for each of the learning resources in hours so you can calculate the time needed to finish this roadmap depending on your pace.
In the Fourth article of this series, you will learn the fundamentals of Python for Data Science to efficiently handle the entire data lifecycle, from preprocessing and visualization to advanced machine learning and deep learning tasks.
These fundamentals include learning how to use key libraries like NumPy and Pandas to simplify numerical computations and data manipulation, while Matplotlib and Seaborn enable insightful data visualizations. For machine learning, scikit-learn provides a robust framework to build, train, and evaluate models, making it ideal for predictive analytics.
