Transcripts

1. Class Introduction: Hi. In this course, you will learn how you can start your freelance career as a beginner Python developer. If you have no idea regarding fight than having not hard math and you are confused in what to learn, how to learn, and from there too large, then you have landed on the right place. Because in this class, you will learn why you as a beginner, need to start your career as a freelancer and why you should start it with Python. I forgetting answers of these crucial questions, you will dive into the practical part where you will learn about your Python draws met in detail. In that part, you will get answers regarding you are lending patterns. Finally, you will learn which platform you should juice. And I will share some tips based on my personal experiences. So if you are interested, then click on the next lecture and I'll see you there. Bye bye. 2. Why you should start with Freelancing?: In the recent years, Lansing has become more popular than ever. Benefits and freedom of being your own boss insisted 1 third of the pupil to pursue it. You can consider freelancing as a side hustle, a part-time job, or a full-time job. Many who consider venturing into freelancing vary. If it's a wise choice while it may take both die and hardware to get started. But becoming a successful freelancer is achievable and comes with many benefits, and they will discuss three of them below. One of the biggest advantage of working independently as a freelancer is gaining the freedom of choice. And it's up to you which new clients you tack on, what your hourly rate is and what are your work. Freelancing is a getter that to opportunities. As you can work with different clients on different projects, different environment, it can help you establish new relationships, new friends. And this opens the doors off. For sure. Lansing means you deck on various projects from multiple clients. Each project brings its own challenges to the table and provides you an opportunity to expand your skill set. Surprisingly, you can choose how you want to enhance your skill set. 3. Why Python?: There are a couple of reasons why you should start your career with Python, but we will discuss three of them. Initially. Then you jump into field of computer science. You don't have that much clearer image regarding your part, your career, and you are specializations subjects. At that time, you need a Swiss knife, which fits almost in every field. And Python is really a Swiss knife. From web and software development to data analysis, from artificial intelligence to data engineering, from automation to FBI development. It fits in almost every field. Secondly, by ten is a beginner friendly language. It is dynamically typed, which saves developers time by automatically understanding the datatypes. It has huge community and allows beginner to find the solutions of their problems easily. Finally, huge number of libraries and frameworks have been developed for pattern, which reduces development time. Yes, Python is backed by tech giants, Netflix, spotify, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, and so many other tech companies use fightin. Keeping all of the above reasons in mind, one should start IT career that fight them. 4. Python Roadmap: Have you ever heard about burrito principle states that roughly 80% of outcomes from 20% of causes. Now you have hard, so many people that you need to spend so many vehicles in learning Python. But it's not true because initially you need to know all the dos things which you'll use 80% in everyday development. So let's talk about them one-by-one. First of all, when you jump in the field of computer programming, you need to know about different types of languages. What is an interpreted language and what makes it different from it, from a compiled one. Then what our IDE, or integrated development environments, after these basic prerequisites, jump straight into coding. Learn about variables and how to declare them. What are data types and what is the difference between an integer floor, complex and Boolean data type. Learn deeply about collection data types, which includes released Drupal set and string, and learn their use cases. Typecasting is a very unique feature of Python and helps in many scenarios. So keep it in your list as the make hundreds of decisions in everyday. Similarly, decision-making is very crucial in programming, which can be implemented through conditions. Learn when to use, if, if else or if Alice. After conditional programming, learn about loops and what's next for loop, different from a vine. Excellent. You had completed step number one. Step number two, get your hands dirty with functional programming in Python. How to declare a function difference between method and function, passing arguments or parameters to the function and vorticity purpose or for return keyword. You also need to have a clear understanding of lambda function, recursion, decorators, local and global variables. In step them but three, dive into our object oriented programming. There you learn about classes and objects. Why init function is called constructor. Difference between gloss and instance variables. What makes static instance and loss method different from one another? Learn about inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, duck typing X sector. The final step, learn about common Python libraries, how to install and import them. Learn about error handling and file handling. I prefer London. All of these about topics which will detect did during 25 R's, you have a strong best of Python. Now, it's time to practice questions. There are bunch of websites out there to practice pattern spent around or vague in practicing section. And I'll see you in the next lecture. 5. Let's be Specific: After learning Python, now, if you are thinking that you are ready to jump into freelancing, then you are wrong. No one has any interest in your Python skills. Everyone on freelance marketplace is problem-solvers. Now, it's time for you to learn about problems of specific said and try to solve them with Python. Here is the list of different fields where you can use patents for problems solving. These are denying major fields. There. You can apply your Python skills that you can solve the problems only with Python. Rather, you need to learn some specific Python libraries and frameworks for each field in order to solve problems. In the next lectures, there talk about them in detail. 6. Web Technologies: If you are interested in technologies and want to solve the problems, then buttons suits you the best. You can test your pattern scales in that scrapping lab automation, back-end development. Let's discuss them one-by-one. That's scrapping is the process of extracting data from different types of websites using boards. If you want to develop these boards in Python, you need to learn. Python Requests Library, Beautiful Soup library, and scrappy framework. Let's see how much time you need to spend on each of them. First of all, requests, library, even deck, hardly two hours of learning. Beautiful Soup. Four requires six to eight hours of learning. Finally, scrapie is a framework and required ten to 15 hours of learning. You are required to spend two to three days in order to become a Python web scraper. The process of performing predefined actions, tasks, and processes on the web browser Thru Bars is called that automation is well-known for automating tasks and you can automate that best does using Selenium framework along with requests and BeautifulSoup for at least than ours, are required to learn selenium completely. If you have little bit of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge than back-end development matches you. The help of Flask and Django framework. You can develop the backend of that site in Python, but you need to do hard work in the beginning. Plus is a small framework and you can learn it in 1.5 week. While Django requires at least one month of learning. After learning them, do 23 projects in order to nourish your skeleton. 7. Development in Python: Although python is an interpreted language, but it's still allow us to develop powerful MPI applications and even games. Now, let's discuss which libraries and frameworks you need to learn in each category. Application programming interface, or API, is a communication between two computer programs. Fbi development in Python, it's possible that both floss and fast API, but FastAPI is completely optimized for API development in Python. Along with this, you need to learn about databases like Postgres, SQLite. Along with some experience in SQL, fast FBI can be learned and add to ten hours. Lot SQL requires two to four Rs and Postgres requires four to six hours of learning. I recommend to you that after learning API development, Mac, one or two APIs, deploy them on rapid FBI. There you can turn your APIs into our revenue stream as valid by the is also a good choice for app development because of GAVI, D converter and phi q t. These are the three separate frameworks that allows you to develop applications in Python. All of them have their own advantages. You can easily learn TV in eight to ten hours, while teak in turn requires four to five hours of learning by Judy is a big framework and requires 15 to 17 hours of learning. Finally, game development in Python was made possible with the help of Pi game learning, design texts, function and method of pi gamma is quite easy. But the most challenging part in game development is the creation of logic. You can learn pi get in 15 to 17 hours after learning Mac, at least two games and applaud them on GitHub. And then link to get help with the freelance marketplace that will act as your portfolio. 8. Artificial Intelligence in Python: Relationship between Python and artificial intelligence is same as that of water and ice. You can't pursue in artificial intelligence without pattern, the market is experiencing robust growth. Status reports or global market size of 32700000002021, which will expand to 190. Why 61 billion by 2025 only in US. If you want to pursue your career as an AI engineer. Start from data analysis, machine learning, and natural language processing. Data analysis is the process of extracting information and insights from data. In Python, NumPy and Matplotlib really helps in data analysis. Numpy is a numeric library which allow us to play with arrays in Python. Usually Dec. seventh to add hours of learning, bond does allow us to claim, manipulate, and extract data from different types of files like CSV, exit, etcetera. It requires 15 to 20 hours of learning. Matplotlib is a data visualization library which allows us to display data in form of graphs and charts. There are some other alternatives, like C-H bond and Plotly, but not a lot left, is a well-known and easy to learn library, which deck? To seven hours of learning. After learning these libraries, you need to learn some basic mathematics and statistics, which required 20 to 30 hours of study. Mit defines machine learning as the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. Machine-learning systems can be descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. This can be achieved using different statistical techniques and algorithms and Python, Scikit-learn or Escalade, TensorFlow and PyTorch are commonly used libraries for machine learning. But as a beginner, what one you should choose based on some statistics. Every machine learning beginner should start from SKLearn, which is more general purpose and easy to learn machine learning library after it, tensorflow is the neck, which is again, easy to learn, Google powered ML library. But it is used commonly for deep learning and neural networks. Both of them require one to two months of learning. Along with it, you need to know some mathematics and statistics. Natural language processing, or NLP, is the computer's ability to understand human languages. Python, NLTK, Bessie, and phos decks. I've commonly used for training natural language processing models. Crushed or fall, start lending from speci that jumped to NLTK and then to foster text. All of them are so much easy that you can learn them. They did number. 9. Best Platform: Great job. Now you are ready to jump into freelance market. But should you start from Fiverr app for or any other than stone experience? Initially, you should start from fiber. There are two main reasons. Firstly, it is designed for both beginners and professionals. So you can polish your patterns skills by working on small projects, which will let you bent visible reputation. Secondly, buyers will come to you. You don't have to bid to get customers. We don't have to spend all day bidding on potential projects. Just sit back and that foreign notification email to arrive once you have etiquette experienced than you can switch to other freelance pellet. Bye-bye. 10. Class Project: After attending the class. Now, your task is to make a pattern roadmap according to your interest. Also mentioned the timestamps and share as your class project in order to help others. Hope you have enjoyed this class and I'll see you later. Bye-bye.
