* Ins and Outs of Coding Pythonically
* Object Oriented Programming
* Popular Data Science Libraries including Matplotlib, Pandas,
Numpy, Sklearn
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?
For those of you interested in learning to program in Python, so you
may be better prepared for self-study in data science, this course
will help you get up to speed.
Those of you who are interested in gaining the skills required for
admittance to a Data Science bootcamp; this course is designed to help
you meet the standard skill assesments in a typical interview,
including our own.
Self starters and those who learn best in-person, in a classroom,
amongst peers.
IMMERSIVE TUITION DISCOUNT
100% of workshop payment can be used as tuition credit for our Data
