Teaching in a practical and fun way is my way 😊

A good question! For the non-technical person, I would recommend learning python by heart. After you know python, then you can decide because every latest technology is using python only. Happy learning! Ps: for non-technical people also, python is easy.

Data science is best course, you can able to learn quickly as you are from non tech background. Data science is all about the analysis of data and interpretation. If you are one who is willing to learn on daily basis then I would suggest to go with data science. Practice and learning is necessary.
