RE: Just getting into programming, looking for advice.
For programming, I focus on the scientific computing side with R and Python. I am heavily based in R and know some Python basics.
As the one poster mentioned, Python is easy to use. However, the statistical programming language R is easier to use than Python.
In terms of resources, google & Youtube are a good start. Books are good too. Personally, I like some of the books on R and Python (with Data Science) from O'Reilly Media.
Perfect! I would love to get some books in this stuff. Thanks for the great advice I'll look into learning r and python as well.
I know of quite a few books in R (and some in Python). A good start for R would be Hands On Programming With R by Garrett Grolemund.
I will check it out, thanks for your help! Much appreciated
