There are no shortcuts to success but there are shortcut keys to success.
As a Data Scientist your selection between a keyboard and a mouse is going to make a lot of difference, just consider the sum total of data held by all the big online storage and service companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook is at least 1,200 petabytes between them. That is 1.2 million terabytes (one terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes). And that figure excludes other big providers like Dropbox, Barracuda and Sugar Sync, to say nothing of massive servers in industry and academia.
I believe in the computing world knowing the shortcut keys plays a very important role. Two alphabets’ that ruled the world of keyboard has been ‘c’ and ‘v’. The two shortcut keys in the keyboard that has changed our computing lives are
· Copy: Ctrl + C
· Paste: Ctrl + V.
These are just the entry points to the whole world of short cut keys just ensure you learn your bit to make life easier. As a Data Scientist one thing you are going to use is Jupyter notebook so let’s understand a small part of shortcut keys of Jupyter notebook that can help you work through your projects / labs.
