What you'll learn in this data science course:

The well-being of our employees, students, clients, instructors, and guests is our number one priority here at General Assembly. We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation very carefully and are adjusting delivery of our programs.

Due to the current health concerns, all GA short-form events, workshops & bootcamps will temporarily be held online - including this one.

Registered students will be notified 24 hours in advance of this program with information on how to log in to the Zoom Meeting Room and other tools you’ll need for the session. Registration for this class will close 2 hours prior to the session start in order to allow all students ample opportunity to have the technology enabled.

Python is quickly becoming the go-to programming language for working with large amounts of data. Both existing programmers and those new to the practice will need to understand Python’s ecosystem that allows you to easily load, query, interpret and analyze complicated and messy data for a variety of business purposes.

This workshop introduces you to the major Python libraries used for data analysis (primarily Numpy and Pandas), and gives you a practical, thorough walk through for how to use them for the most important data management tasks. It starts you off with the basics, and walks you through various API’s until you’ll be able to easily clean, manage, join, and analyze data sets with millions of rows…..all on your own laptop.

This workshop is ideal for analysts, marketers, non-python programmers, and anyone looking to expand their data toolkit by learning how to use the world’s most flexible and powerful data management ecosystem.
