If you haven\u2019t heard of data science by now, I hope you\u2019ll tell me who sold you your isolated wilderness cabin so I can get one too. Data science, and related fields like big data and machine learning, are such popular fields<\/a> at the moment that companies are scrambling to get their hands on people with the relevant skills. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of ways you can get into data science. You can learn on your own, go to a data science bootcamp, or go to a traditional college. Bootcamp projects<\/a> are designed to help you gain hands-on skills quickly.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever route you choose, I\u2019d recommend you cut your teeth doing some simple beginner data science projects as you develop your skills while using various data science programming languages<\/a>. This way you\u2019ll begin building an understanding of the material and learning to troubleshoot the inevitable problems that emerge.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Python is a great way to get into data science, as there’s tons of fun beginner python projects out there. Enrolling in an online coding bootcamp or web development bootcamp is a great way to build the skills expected in a professional data scientist. In the best coding bootcamps<\/a>, students learn web design, data visualization and coding skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t beat project-based learning for data science. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is an unlimited number of things you could put on a list like this one. I tried to limit myself to truly basic tasks which don\u2019t overlap with machine learning (no regressors or classifiers).

Below are some basic data science projects, with links to relevant datasets. I\u2019ve assumed that you have a basic familiarity with the command line and at least one data science package, like Pandas.
