Python 1-Day Fundamentals Workshop | In Person | Online

About this workshop

Python has quickly grown into one of the most popular, easy-to-read, flexible, and beginner-friendly object-oriented programming languages. Start writing basic syntax with Python scripts that store and manipulate data in the form of variables, for a more powerful, customizable Python programming experience. Use dictionaries and lists to format and organize information; use conditionals and loops to allow your programs to make intelligent, logic-driven decisions; use functions to organize code according to the problems they solve and start taking on code challenges to build your programming skills.

This 6-hour Python 1-Day Fundamentals Workshop is the interactive and hands-on way to get started on exploring and visualizing your data. You will dive head first into Python, skill up with exercises, and by the end of the day you'll have a handle on data analysis, automating business tasks, and web development.

Takeaways

• Use the Jupyter Notebook application to create and run Python programs.
• Understand fundamental Python programming language syntax.
• Distinguish between a data type and structure in Python.
• Write Python language scripts that use conditionals and loops.
• Use Python functions to encapsulate problem-solving logic.
• Begin building Python skills through code challenges.
