Kicking it all off again properly starting next week. Quite content with the 2017 progress though.
I literally popped in to check whether you recommended any VBA course as I need it for the modelling class and I have no experience with it.
I was told that because I can write SQL I should pick it up relatively quick but I'm not sure how true that is.

I started the Applied Data Science with Python from Michigan this week and I hope to have the VBA done by next week.
It's been suggested to make life easier to use them for 2 of the classes but you could struggle along with excel for both.
The only disappointing part is that neither will be examinable but it'll simply make the project work easier.
Semester 2 feels incredibly short, last week of classes finishes the 23rd of March

They seem to think it's a good idea although it's a bit off topic so I'll know once the first draft of the research proposal is submitted.
I figure I'm not going to make any contribution in the area of finance by determining historical correlation of x stock etc plus it's not something that particularly interests me.
I don't expect to make any particular contribution either way but I do think this topic has far more scope for (dare I say it) a PhD.
Everybody is going to try cryptos I'm sure or work with Brian on his IPO stuff (which probably makes the most sense tbf).
I'll send you a copy of the research proposal when it's completed and get your thoughts, I know behavioural is your area.

Hitch,
just a quick thing. What I have noticed in here is the python guys struggle with static offline data sources as python does the heavy lifting opening csvs etc.
Use a proper DB engine as a data source and performance is markedly improved.
I'm still level 0.1 in python but hoping to improvePeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Thinking of making python part of my time doing courses
What would you advise to someone coming at it from a fado fado coding viewpoint not a financial one?

Went to an into lecture for a data analytics course
*Tools will be pen paper calculator, Excel, SPSS and R(main lecturer doesn't know much Python)
*Highest marked project last year was a dashboard built in Excel
*There were a bunch of annoying older students asking a barrage of pointless questions
Strongly reconsidering my plan to give up several evenings a week to do it

Was that why you started using gooey. Must actually read that book properly - or do the course - as would actually like to automate the boring stuff.
It's a very clever solution to a problem that was taking up my time (supporting an inhouse web app I built)
the app fixes problems in backend client data using common parameters via procs.
I can give the app to the end users and they can fix their own issues.Last edited by DeadParrot; 04-09-20, 10:03.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble
