Intro to Data Science with Python: Beginner's Bootcamp | Online
About this workshop
Whether you have experience in programming or are looking to get started for the first time, this workshop series will put you on the fast track to honing your python and data analysis skills. Over the course of the bootcamp you’ll get hands-on programming experience in Python that you'll be able to immediately apply in the real world.
You'll learn the end-to-end data science process, covering the fundamentals of Python and several tools used in data science.
Schedule Part 1 Basic Intro Python & Data Manipulation - Fundamentals of Python - Import Data Science Packages - Read Data From Files
Part 2 Model Building - Machine Learning Algorithms - Build Predictive Model - Evaluate Model Performance
Takeaways
You'll learn the end-to-end data science process:
- Collect data from a variety of sources (e.g., Excel, CSV files)
- Explore and investigate large data sets
- Apply machine learning algorithms to build predictive models in Python
This is a very practical and hands-on workshop that has lots of class exercises. You'll build your own library of Python scripts that can be reused after you're done with the course.
Prereqs & Preparation
You must bring a laptop with a text editor.
Sublime Text is recommended and has a free trial version (http://www.sublimetext.com/).
In addition, students should install Anaconda, which is a free package that includes python and a number of tools that will be used in class (http://continuum.io/downloads - Python 2.7 Graphical Installer).
