THE FIELD NOTES · LEARNING GUIDE

What should you learn before machine learning?

Build a foundation you can keep coming back to.

Python reasoning

Get comfortable with variables, lists, functions and basic debugging before combining them into a data workflow.

Working with data

Practice inspecting a dataset, identifying missing values and explaining what each column means.

Evaluation habits

Keep the data used for evaluating your model separate from its training data. Ask what good performance means for your actual problem.
