Where should a beginner go to study?

Question

IT education

Advise where it is worth going to study and how cost-effective it is (Python, Analytics, Machine learning, SQL)
Is there an advantage to visiting couples over online education? Courses at State institutions / Private online schools (Moscow) ?
I would really appreciate your answers and advice!

Answer 1

Advise where to go to study and how cost-effective it is

It is better to study on your own, information in the public domain shaft.
It is advisable to immediately start with English-language sources (documentation on the language, framework).
If there is no motivation, then do something else (not development). The fact that you pay the money does not guarantee anything.
If you go to IT for the dough, then later you will be disappointed.
And of course, learn to google and search for useful information on your own, just an indispensable skill (these questions are asked here every week)

Answer 2

MIPT: a huge base, a fund, moving to Europe, Asia, USA, cooperating with Yandex, Google.
Yandex lyceum or school of programmers (also cooperates with Yandex, MIPT, HSE), they will give you a base, a bunch of tasks, etc.
HSE is also a good option, but there is more practice, as I know.
If there are books on machine learning, then look towards Choll or read the documentation, in principle everything is clear there
Yes, and as for me it is better to go to a university than to study in absentia, first of all it is communication and building up connections

Answer 3

Separately:
1) SQL. Decide on a database (for example, MySQL) and read the documentation, follow the examples.
2)Python. Read a couple of the most popular books.
3) Analytics. This is a vague concept. Apparently, to find the thinnest book on statistics to begin with.
4) Machine learning. There are many examples in Matlab (it is paid) (Statistics and Machine Learning toolbox, Deep Learning TB, Reinforcement Learning TB, Text Analytics TB)

Answer 4

fundamental knowledge and skills have not been canceled
, otherwise it happens that specific sites are riveted, but they don’t understand that the server and the client are different machines (and not an abstract system, or the “site” is not clear how they work), that different technologies can be used there , but they don’t think about how data is transmitted over the network, in what languages ​​​​these sites were previously written, and what protocols and technologies were used and used, they don’t think about security, they don’t think about computational complexity, about how data is stored in the database and how it is stored on the disk, and how they are retrieved, where they are transferred when you make these very database queries, i.e. between RAM and a slow disk, between RAM and a very slow network
By this I wanted to say that you need to learn everything little by little - in order to imagine HOW it all works, it is not necessary to learn all the subtleties of assembler and hardware, but to imagine what is inside under the hood of each technology - you need
to learn - you need to .. you always need .. and going to university or online courses is just the beginning
