Its been a rollercoaster the past few years but feels good to be back on the Fastlane track.

What do you think about learning data analysis for a start and then software development after.

The aim is to get the employable skillset of a data analyst and then move into software development ( the faslane idea).

Are you learning this at home?

Yes
Youtube for now
But I plan to take the google and IBM certification.
I don't know how those work out. I know that there are certifications on the internet that aren't valuable to find a job. It has more to do with the certification itself and the evaluation method.

I guess MOOCs on Coursera and EdX would be more useful, even if you only get the certificate of participation.

Data Analysis is easier to learn, unless you go into the math heavy stuff with Data Science.

Either way, you're looking at at least 4-6 months of study before you'll have a good enough grasp of the skill to offer value to a company.

And then you'll have to learn how to market yourself. A whole different subject and skillset. I'd argue the most important one.

Or if you want to build a product on your own, that will take another 3-6 months. Then you'll have to learn how to market that.

Not sure what your background is, but you're in for a long journey my friend.

wow

I am sure it would be an interesting one and domain research in my part of the world shows there is limited supply of data analysts.

The main caveat is do you think it's Fastlane?

The skills themselves are not fastlane. You can get a job with them. That's not fastlane.

What you plan on doing with them, your business itself and the CENTS analysis will say if it's fastlane or not. You haven't mentioned anything about the business yet.
