  ## The basics of being a data scientist
   
  * Have a hypothesis - even if you're making a tool/api that helps people with their questions too, remember what the objective of that is.
  * Find the people and tools you need to prove/show/find. This rest of this page will help with the latter.
  * Analyse and present results - were they what you expected? Do they help explain to others what you have found out? Can present as a interactive data visualisation or a web/mobile application or just a infographic/motion graphics video that tells a story.
  Please note, there are a combination of Analysis and Visualisation tools in each of the major categories below.
