How to Acquire the Most Wanted Data Science Skills - KDnuggets

KDnuggets recently conducted a survey to find out which data science skills our readers reported currently being in possession of, and which skills they had hoped to add or improve upon. This article will present some no-cost options for getting started learning about each of these skills. Instead of throwing a bunch of resources at the wall for each skill, I will instead point out one or two which I believe have proven their merit, some of which in turn point to additional vetted resources. Keep in mind that these are approaches to learning the basics of a given topic, and in many cases gaining the expertise necessary for utilizing any of these particular skills on a daily basis or having an expert-level in-depth understanding of them could take many, many hours or even years of practice and study. But don't let that discourage you; get started learning now. Reinforcement learning topped our list of wanted skills, with 51.9% of respondents stating that they hoped to add it to their skills portfolio.
