Course Overview

Students will use Jupyter Notebooks to get a hands-on study experience. They will be required to practice programming for themselves during lectures outside of the classroom. Students should commit to at least five hours of learning outside of class time each week.  Due to the interactive nature of these classes, the number of students is limited.

What you will learn:

This data analytics with python course is perfect for those who may feel a little overwhelmed and want a simple, clear place to start their programming journey. It has been designed for those with little or no previous experience in the area who want to feel confident in their ability to write code. It’s ideal for any learner with an interest in and the motivation to embark on a career in software development. 

This course will allow you to go from a complete beginner to having a solid understanding of the Python programming language. 

You’ll begin by completing basic exercises that focus on the core concepts of programming. As you progress, you’ll learn how to use variables to store, retrieve, and calculate information. You will then move on to conditional execution, iteration, and many other functions, lists, list processing, object custom types, and handling exceptions
