To become a good Data Scientist, you should focus on several key skills. First, learn programming languages like Python or R for data analysis. Next, develop strong statistical knowledge to interpret data effectively. Familiarize yourself with data manipulation tools, such as SQL for databases. Machine learning basics are also essential for building predictive models. Additionally, enhance your data visualization skills using tools like Tableau or Matplotlib to communicate findings clearly. Finally, understanding big data technologies, such as Hadoop or Spark, can be beneficial. Combining these skills will help you analyze data and derive meaningful insights effectively. Here are some reputable institutes offering data science courses: Uncodemy (offers a Data Science with 100% placement assistance) edX (provides programs from MIT and Harvard) DataCamp (focuses on hands-on data science training) Springboard (provides a Data Science Career Track with mentorship) General Assembly (offers immersive data science bootcamps)

Learning SQL and key Python libraries like pandas, numpy, matplotlib, and scikit-learn would be a great start. Building a solid foundation in statistics is also crucial for data science. And don't neglect soft skills like communication and storytelling - being able to explain your findings clearly is just as important as the analysis itself. The Google course looks like an excellent resource to begin your data science journey!
