Jupyter Notebooks - Environment Introduction11:35
Introduction to Jupyter Notebooks - IMPORTANT: No actions are needed; please watch the walkthrough. The notebooks and other downloadable items will follow in later lessons.
Now that you have installed Anaconda Navigator, it is time to learn how to work with Jupyter notebooks. The Jupyter notebooks environment is a friendly and perfect environment for not only performing complex data analysis, machine learning, and other applications, but also learning.
Jupyter notebooks use cells to allow you to run and output data. In addition, the cells support markup language and are also used for beautiful note construction.
The Jupyter notebook environment will be used throughout this entire course and is also used in many other courses. The code will work in any Python 3 environment, and you may use a different environment; however, the resources are provided as Jupyter notebooks.
Learning Python is a combination of many different areas; not only are the fundamentals and details important. It is also important to understand the meaning behind the code, data types, and structure. Jupyter notebooks provide the perfect environment for learning Python, as each cell is run individually, you may focus on the code within each cell. This allows for an excellent learning environment.
Course Numbering and Tips!4:25
Learn Python 3 - Concepts and Fundamentals Demystified: Course Numbering
Please note, the course follows a different numbering due to the course's carefully guided approach. Please follow the lecture numbers when referencing material.
The structure follows a concept, code example, and student code review for each section number. The videos are all in alignment with this format. However, Udemy provides a sequential numbering therefore, it is important to reference the section numbers, which are in order for you.
EXAMPLE:
Section 1.1 has a Concept, Code Example, and Student Code review video. Therefore, we have three videos for Section 1.1, which provide you different areas to teach you the topic. The number follows:
Section 1.1 - Concept
Section 1.1 - Code Examples with downloadable PDF notes!
Section 1.1 - Downloadable Student Code Notebook (Resource)
Section 1.1 - Student Code Review
This provides consistency as you learn Python and provides you with the necessary information to fully teach you each topic.
Please note, some sections will not have a concept video, each section provides the necessary content to provide you with information for each topic area.
Each Section is constructed as follows:
Concept Video:
First, we begin with a Concept Video that provides you with illustrated and fully explained fundamentals and concepts. These are important as I will teach you the important details BEFORE teaching you the code. This will provide you with context and allow you to grasp the fundamentals.
Code Examples:
The code examples will provide you with the code structure, detail, and fully explain important details to allow you to understand the topic in each Section. Every line of code is explained, you will be able to learn by examples that were carefully designed to optimize your understanding within each area.
Student Code Review:
The student code review will walk you through the student code and explain in detail each code exercise. This is created to ensure your understanding and to provide you with detail for any questions. Please make sure to complete each student code exercise as it will allow you to code and learn Python 3.
Thank you,
Chris
