undefinedBeginner guidance for starting Data Science with Microsoft Fabric
Hi Harshuu12
Start with foundational skills:
- Python: Most popular language for Data Science. Learn basics like variables, loops, functions, and then libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib.
- SQL: Essential for querying and managing data in databases.
- Basic Statistics & Math: Understand concepts like mean, median, variance, probability, and linear algebra.
Suggested Roadmap
Phase 1: Foundations
- Python basics
- SQL basics
- Intro to statistics
Phase 2: Data Analysis
- Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib
- Power BI basics
- Explore Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Notebooks)
Phase 3: Machine Learning
- Scikit-learn basics
- Simple ML models (Regression, Classification)
Phase 4: Advanced
- Azure ML & Fabric integration
- Big Data concepts
- Deep Learning (optional later)
Resources
- Microsoft Learn: Free Fabric and Power BI courses
- Kaggle: Python & ML practice
- Books: “Python for Data Analysis” by Wes McKinney
- YouTube: Corey Schafer (Python), Alex The Analyst (Power BI)
Beginner Tips
- Start small: Practice with real datasets (Kaggle).
- Build projects: e.g., Sales Dashboard in Power BI, Data Cleaning in Python.
- Join communities: Microsoft Fabric Community, Kaggle forums.
