Description
Practical, approachable, fun and friendly learning!
This takes users from not even having Python installed, to learning how to use the language for a variety of different applications.
Follow Jon as he is taught live by Brad how the core aspects of Python programming work, and for everything you learn there is a new project to apply your knowledge.
Each project is a self contained Jupyter notebook that you can download and work through at your own pace.
We have a set of solutions in the same format that you can access, showing one of the ways that you can approach each problem.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner Python students
- Analysts, statisticians and scientists who want to transfer from a different language to python
- People interested in a career change to using python
- Completely new to programming
- SAS/ SQL analysts that want to learn more about python
- Data science enthusiasts keen to get up to speed with Python
Instructor
Brad and Jon have worked together through a variety of different industries, from high street retail to individual and business banking, and covering many sides of the digital sector, from online personalisation to video games. Through a shared ethos of "lazyness is efficiency", data science has always been a natural career fit.
They first started working together at a major data science consultancy, and have given internal and external training courses in a range of professional disciplines.
A no nonsense, less buzzword filled approach allows us to cut through all the rhetoric and give you the tools you need to work smarter, not harder.
