Python for Data Scientist

Whether you have experience in programming or are looking to get started for the first time the Python for Data Scientist workshop will put you on the fast track to honing your python and data analysis skills. In this bootcamp you ll get hands-on programming experience in Python that you ll be able to immediately apply in the real world. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of Python and several tools used in data science. This workshop is for analysts product managers mathematicians business managers or anyone else that wants to learn how to code in Python. Takeaways In this workshop you ll learn the end-to-end data science process Collect data from a variety of sources (e.g. Excel web-scraping APIs and others) Explore large data sets Clean and munge the data to prepare it for analysis Apply machine learning algorithms to gain insight from the data Visualize the results of your analysis This is a very practical and hands-on workshop that has lots of class exercises. You ll build your own library of Python scripts that can be reused after your done with the course. Prereqs & Preparation You must bring a laptop with a text editor. Sublime Text is recommended and has a free trial version ( www.sublimetext.com ).
