Hi All,

I am totally new to the field of data science. I read about basics.

I am confused need some expert advice on help me understand the difference.

I so far understood DS is combination of programming skills (R, PYtthon ,SAS .... etc) and statistics. The courses I checked so far are focusing on 80% programming skills and 20% on statistics.

Since i am totally new and have no idea of statistics too.... I thought if I pick a course which focuses on 80% statistics and 20% programming that might help.
My understanding is programming is a mode of implementing statistics.

Please correct if my understanding is wrong and how to figure out the right fit for me. I want to have strong foundation in basics.

Thanks in Advance.
Siri
