Intro to Data Science with Python: Beginner's Bootcamp | Online | Online

About this workshop

Python is a versatile and widely-used programming language with many applications. This workshop explores Python's place in the scientific ecosystem, and how the language, with several readily-available open-source libraries, can serve as a powerful tool for data analysis. Designed as a stand-alone introduction to the data science aspects of Python, this class is also a recommended refresher for students planning to enrol in General Assembly's upcoming Data Science course. The course is hands-on and exercise based, so students will get plenty of practice.

Good things come to those who learn - GA. Students who take this workshop and then subsequently enrol in GA's Data Science Immersive or part-time course will receive a tuition credit towards the course equal to what they paid for this workshop* (*only eligible for students who have not yet enrolled).
