Overview
Python Bootcamp
Learn foundational Python with an emphasis for data
In this course, you will learn how to work effectively with Python. You will understand how to use variables, create functions, and work with classes. That foundational knowledge will allow you to understand testing and testing techniques to validate your work and then move onto Pandas and Numpy which allows you to work effectively with data sets and other data science tasks.
This is valuable for anyone wanting to get a quick introductory course on Python, like a student, programmer new to Python or aspiring data engineer or data scientist. At the end of this course you’ll be ready to work with more advanced concepts with Pandas and Numpy with a solid foundation in Python for any other task.
All lessons and videos have accompanying GitHub Repositories with example code.
