# Recommended Data Literary Insights Since I began my journey into the world of data, I have never walked alone. Apart from the guides I've gotten from data professionals and communities which is even way lesser than my self-taught accomplishments, there are data literacy guides produced by data professionals in form of video, audio, picture and text contents that have been of help to me and I would like to make my own recommendation of some selected go-to guides to data enthusiasts and newbies in either data analysis, data science, data engineering business analytics, machine learning or deep learning. Note that you could have a preference of yours which is different from mine, and this may not rule out the fact that my preferences are better than yours and vice versa. --- ## Data Channels (Video) [Data Science Dojo](https://www.youtube.com/@Datasciencedojo) [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1675540144225/9e683d29-c8f3-4cdc-8074-b6f11145ff06.png align="center")](https://www.youtube.com/@Datasciencedojo) [Storytelling with data (SWD)](https://www.youtube.com/@storytellingwithdata) [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1675540417421/88a0a5a2-8b66-4bb2-83c9-99fc1dcf936f.png align="center")](https://www.youtube.com/@storytellingwithdata) [Alex the Analyst](https://www.youtube.com/@AlexTheAnalyst) [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1675540543657/cb35e056-6eed-4aa3-8dd4-58be6db13f0d.png align="center")](https://www.youtube.com/@AlexTheAnalyst) 1.
