Should I learn SQL before data science?+
SQL is a valuable early foundation because it teaches data structure, retrieval and validation used across analytics and data science.
What is the difference between analytics and data science?+
Analytics focuses strongly on metrics and decisions; data science extends into statistics, experiments and predictive modelling.
What should a data portfolio show?+
Show a clear question, data checks, reproducible method, evidence, limitation and recommendation.
