    In this section, we look at why you should learn how to use Git for version control. Git is a particularly useful tool that will help you keep track of your projects and all the major changes you make in your code. GitHub, on the other hand, enables you to store your code online so you and others can have access to it to create a truly collaborative project. And if that's not enough, working with Git is also a near requirement for any data scientist today.

Giles wants to teach you Python. Not only that – he will show you how to use Python to create, achieve, and problem-solve. He started coding more than a decade ago during his studies, achieving a First-Class Honors Degree in Physics. Back then, his area of interest was medical physics (specifically MRI physics), so he went to Oxford University to conduct advanced research into the field. If you are passionate about learning Python and exploring data science, you will find Giles’ YouTube channel called ‚Python Programmer‘ extremely interesting. In his authentic delivery style, he reviews learning resources, provides book and course suggestions, and shares a number of exciting data analysis project ideas.
