Overview

This course is approximately 40% hands-on, combining expert lecture, real-world demonstrations and group discussions with machine-based practical labs and exercises. Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current "on-the-job" experience into every classroom. Throughout the hands-on course students will learn to leverage Python scripting for data science (to a basic level) using the most current and efficient skills and techniques.
Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn about and explore (to a basic level):
- How to work with Python interactively in web notebooks
- The essentials of Python scripting
- Key concepts necessary to enter the world of Data Science via Python

Description

Python for Data Science Primer is a two-day course that introduces data analysts and business analysts (as well as anyone interested in Data Science) to the Python programming language, as it's often used in Data Science in web notebooks. This goal of this course is to provide students with a baseline understanding of core concepts that can serve as a platform of knowledge to follow up with more in-depth training and real-world practice.
The course begins with quick overview of Python, with demonstrations of both script-based and web notebook-based Python, and then dives into the essentials of Python necessary to a data scientist. The tail end of the course explores a quick integration of these skills with key Data Science libraries including NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib. This class is hands-on and includes light programming labs that introduce students to basic Python syntax and concepts applicable to using Python to work with data.
NOTE: Students heading into real project work right after training might consider a more robust hands-on course with deeper topics and lab coverage for similar subjects, such as the TTPS4873 Introduction Python for Data Science

Prerequisites

This introductory-level course is intended for Business Analysts and Data Analysts (or anyone else in the data science realm) who are already comfortable working with numerical data in Excel or other spreadsheet environments. No prior programming experience
is required, and a browser is the only tool necessary for the course.
