Best Programming Language for the Buy Side?
Hi WSO! I am a student who has the summer off, and I was thinking of learning a programming language or two. Any suggestions on which programming language I should learn? I hope to end up in HF LS equity one day, maybe credit HF, and I am curious if programming is useful, and, if so, which one?
Thanks!
Hey Ivan Boesky, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot...do any of these help:
Maybe one of our professional members will share their wisdom: @revilo123" @Miao-Wang1" rothbardm
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Python + Pandas is your best bet, R/S+ is the secondary one. Also, make sure your excel is excellent.
Thanks! I was thinking of using codecademy for python. Would you happen to know of a good place to start learning the other languages you mentioned?
Would recommend this https://learnpythonthehardway.org/</a">site for learning Python instead. I think codecademy places too much emphasis on syntax and format and not enough on "how to think like a programmer" and algorithms. Codecademy does not provide a strong enough foundation for you to build on.
