GitHub Profile Building 2, Practice via competitions 3, Discussion Portals GitHub Profile Building (mandatory) It is very important for a Data Scientist to have a GitHub profile to host all the codes of the project he/she has undertaken. Potential employers not only see what you have done, how you have coded and how frequently / how long you have been practicing data science. Also, codes on GitHub open up avenues for open source projects which can highly boost your learning. If you don't know how to use Git, you can learn from Git and GitHub (https:// www.udacity.com/course/how-to-use-git-and-github--ud775) on Udacity. This is one of the best and easy to learn course to manage the repositories through terminal. Practice via competitions (mandatory) Time and again, | have stressed on the fact that practice beats theory.
