Wondering how you could leverage data science? Start with the data that you already have.

Look how much I learned on Duolingo in 2023! How did you do? #Duolingo365

@wanjohikibui Think of Desktop GIS as a toolbox and pick the one that's best for the job at hand.

To wrap this up. @DataCamp has a couple of courses on Plotly and Bokeh. These are tools that you can use to create interactive data visualizations. I find Plotly easier but don't have enough experience to recommend one above the other. #Python #dataviz

I've been learning #Python on @DataCamp for the last 4 years now. With a background in #geospatial I really enjoyed data visualization. In this thread, I will recommend some of the best courses.

[Willy Simons @Willy_Simons]

This is the course that introduced me to geopandas and folium: https://t.co/iiXr0ESYZP Highly recommended if you work or would like to work with #geospatial data.

I've just completed 'Building Dashboards with Dash and Plotly' a new DataCamp course. This increases my dashboarding skills beyond Power BI and ArcGIS Dashboards.

@AsigeAlex @kot_hacker @so_benn The few people living in remote areas have other priorities than browsing the Internet. Not quite sure how they planned to make money.

[Willy Simons @Willy_Simons]

@AsigeAlex Open data and technology are key to innovation and efficiency (doing more with less) in Governance. That's hard to explain to the cabals in GoK, but I do empathize with the young brilliant minds that are left idle.

I am having close to 250 daily updates on COVID-19 in Kenya. From today I will start analyzing the data in Python. Follow the thread to follow me on the journey. #DataScience #COVID19 #Kenya

Today I used seasonal decomposition but couldn't find a trend in COVID-19 confirmed cases for Kenya #KomeshaCoronaOkoaMaisha #pythonlearning
