Python is one of the most searched topics on Stack Overflow. Due to its flexibility and the range of applications that it can be used for, it's fast becoming the most sought-after language in any developer’s portfolio.
This course will start from the very beginning; installing Python 3, setting up your development environment and writing your first lines of code. By the end of the two days, you’ll have a solid understanding of Python and will have gained experience in working with data.
Through project-based learning you’ll have the chance to learn through practical experiences, as you’ll be working with all the general concepts of the python language as well as performing exercises in retrieving, processing and visualising data.
Our Python for Data Science course is available at our training centre in The Shard, London or via virtual classroom. We also offer private training at a location of your choice across the UK, globally or online.
