[Neuroimaging] New to coding, looking for ways to practice and improve

[Eleftherios Garyfallidis]

Hi Juan,

Also, make sure you don't stay at the basics of the Python language but
look into data science related books such as Python for Data Analysis or
similar. Get familiar with numpy, scipy and perhaps scikit-learn too. These
can be very helpful in your future endeavors.

And of course if want to get into computational anatomy areas we are here
to help.

All the best,
Eleftherios
