My advice is for those who have at least a little background in terms of coding. You don't need to take a course in Python, just learn the basics and start working on projects. I'm not kidding, that's how I learned.

I learned C++ in college and forgot almost everything about it when I entered my current job. On my job I needed to code something to predict the cash flow of consumer credit assets and estimate default and prepayment. It sounds easy but if you get into those mathematical models it actually gets very complicated. I started doing that in Python when I had no idea what Python was. You just code line by line with the help of google. If something went wrong, I googled it, if I needed the syntax of something I wanted to do, I googled it. Little by little, it turned into a small program with 2,000 lines of codes. I ended up building the whole CLO equity tranche investment analysis system for my group in Python.

We learn coding on the job, not in the courses. I don't mean to sound arrogant, it's just when you have a purpose or project on hand, you get much more motivated to deal with the bugs and power through any obstacles you may encounter.
