#Shiny is now available in Python!

But with 24 web frameworks in python (that I could find), why should you care?

Here's why.

#datascience #rstats #python
Shiny - the ultra-popular R library for turning data science analysis into automated web applications - Was just released for Python.

And there's a big reason to start learning Shiny in Python...
...Because Posit (formerly Rstudio) has a team of engineers building the ecosystem

And they've already succeeded in making the best web app ecosystem in R.

And there's one more reason that 80% of R programmers are overlooking...
I've been getting a lot of questions on ways to learn Python if you're coming from R.

And if that sounds like you, then learning Shiny for python is a slam dunk. 🏀
***I'm putting together a free Shiny for Python training (that anyone can attend live).***

You will discover:
1. What packages are available for building web applications in python

And why I'm excited about shiny to fill a void
2. How to build a Shiny python app

The key differences when coming from R
3. How to make a complex shiny python app

Beyond what they show you in the beginner tutorials
4. Get ideas for your future job portfolio

(by adding Shiny Python Apps to your tool chest)
✅ And all attendees get a FREE Python CHEAT SHEET for attending live.

This is the "express path" to learning python.
What's your next step?

Just attend my free Shiny for Python training.

Python has over 21 web application frameworks.

But this is the one I'm watching.

#python #rstats #datascience
Shiny is the defacto standard web application framework in R that has greatly contributed to my career.
1. Shiny has helped me consult

I was able to differentiate my offering while giving businesses massive value in weeks (not months or years).

Amazon just cut another 18,000 tech jobs.

Stichfix just announced a 20% layoff.

Do this to avoid being a casualty.
The cold reality: In tough times, Businesses make business decisions.

But there’s one thing you can do to help you prosper in a downturn.

Provide business value.
If you save (or make) the company money.

It’s very painful for your business to let you go.

Providing business value = Increasing your value

Make sense?

For the next 3 months, become obsessed with these 4 habits...

And you'll become unrecognizably better as a data scientist.

#datascience
The problem in learning data science is 3 fold:

1. too many resources
2. not sure where to start
3. get stuck and can't move forward

So we need to counteract these with habits that break us through.
Habit 1: Focus on one problem (in a target industry).

Instead of trying to learn skills that can apply to all problems, learn to solve a business problem in a niche area you enjoy.

You can find them easily.

It took me 5 years to call myself a data scientist.

I'll teach in 2 minutes how to avoid mistakes that would have saved me 4.5 years:

#datascience #rstats #python
Mistake 1. Trying to learn everything.

Math, coding, stats, deep learning...

APIs, machine learning, algorithms...

SQL, R, Python, Julia...

C++, Rust, Spark...

Trying to learn all this stuff at once is impossible.
Do this instead:

Find a real project.

Something you can get excited about.

This will give you a roadmap for what to learn.

Sad news - my friends Seth & Sarah had a house fire to their apartment.

Here’s what happened.
Few have been made aware…

…a little over a week ago, my college roommate Seth and his wife Sarah’s apartment in San Francisco caught fire.

ktvu.com/news/7-displac…
Luckily they weren’t home, and neighbors are safe.

However, it was a very serious fire.

And nearly everything they owned has been destroyed.

If not from fire, it was from smoke, soot, and/or water damage.

There are more than 10,685,000 people learning to work with data.

Yet most data science jobs now have over 1000+ applicants.

And only 5 actually make it to an interview.

Use these 4 skills to stand out (free to steal & use to advance your career).

#datascience #rstats
1. Time series analysis

Up to 90% of companies need better forecasting.

And less than 5% of data scientists are competent in time series analysis.
So becoming good at time series is a massive advantage.

Demonstrate an application of time series analysis in the interview, and set yourself apart from the crowd.
