1. Next steps

Now that you have completed the series, you are expected to be familiar with

• Data structures: list, tuple, dictionary, etc.
• Functions: functions definition, scopes of variable, lambda functions
• Control Flow: for loop, while loop, if…else
• Classes: how and when to use classes, special methods in classes

With these knowledge, you are now about 70% ready to do your first data science project. As a next step, learn to utilize external libraries to help you with you DS task, including but not limited to:

• Pandas for working with dataframe (source: dataquest)
• Seaborn for data visualization (source: datacamp)
• Scikit-learn for machine learning (source: datacamp)

2. What articles will follow this series

After finishing the 101 series on programming, we will continue another 101 series on statistics, together with some articles on tips on programming, which I think would be beneficial for you to know about.

So stay tuned for more ^^
