“The Upskill Gambit - Discover the 5 Keys to Your Career and Income Security in the Digital Age” (new Amazon book (Audible) (Kindle)

Friends, if you want to discover the five keys to enduring career and earnings success then The Upskilling Gambit is for you (Audible) (Kindle). Join us for a journey that will transform your professional growth and unlock new opportunities for you and your organization. The global workforce - with an estimated 1 billion Knowledge Workers - has undergone a remarkable transformation from the Industrial Age to the Information Age and now entered the contemporary Digital Age. This transformation has been largely driven by technological advancements and economic cycles. In the Industrial Age the workforce was primarily characterized by manual labor, with individuals working in factories and other manufacturing facilities. Specialization and repetitive tasks were the norm, with limited opportunities for intellectual engagement or skill development. The Information Age also brought about a shift towards knowledge-based work, as industries began to rely on information processing and communication infrastructure. This led to the rise of white-collar jobs and a growing demand for skills in computing, data analysis and first generation robotics.

Thesis: A generational opportunity awaits all Knowledge Workers who focus on “Upskilling” their talents - across all industries, functional disciplines and geographic regions - in the new digital economy. Given the vast focus on job displacement due to technology innovation and business process improvement - in the near term - the upside growth potential in the medium-long term far outweighs the downside risk for all who invest in “Upskilling”.

Python Data Structures (training)

Dev colleagues, join over 1 million students who have enrolled in the popular “Python Data Structures” training program. Learn to explain the principles of data structures & how they are used, create programs that are able to read and write data from files, store data as key/value pairs using Python dictionaries and accomplish multi-step tasks like sorting or looping using tuples. Gain high-demand skills including Python Syntax And Semantics, Data Structures, Tuples and Python Programming. This course will introduce the core data structures of the Python programming language. We will move past the basics of procedural programming and explore how we can use the Python built-in data structures such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples to perform increasingly complex data analysis. Training modules address: 1) Python Strings - install Python if you want to actually run the applications on your desktop or laptop. If you choose not to install Python, you can just skip to the third week and get a head start, 2)  Installing and Using Python - write and test Python programs in the browser using the "Python Code Playground" in this lesson, 3) Files - write your first programs that read, scan, and process real data, 3) Lists - store many values in a single variable using an indexing scheme to store, organize, and retrieve different values from within a single variable. We call these multi-valued variables "collections" or "data structures", 4) Dictionaries - the Python dictionary is one of its most powerful data structures. Instead of representing values in a linear list, dictionaries store data as key / value pairs. Using key / value pairs gives us a simple in-memory "database" in a single Python variable, and 5) Tuples - simple version of lists. We often use tuples in conjunction with dictionaries to accomplish multi-step tasks like sorting or looping through all of the data in a dictionary.
