No prior knowledge required
No unnecessary risks
How many times have you decided to learn a programming language, but got stuck somewhere along the way, gave up, and quit? This specialization is for learners who have little or no programming experience, but want to use Python as a tool for working with data.
You will learn the basic input and output methods in Python, so you can write your first program. You will learn about:
You will create and use functions to make your programs more useful and flexible. You will also learn how to take advantage of basic packages.
Get to know the packages used specifically for data science, such as:
In this internship, you’ll learn that programming in Python is like building with LEGO: just follow the instructions, choose the pieces that fit together, and create something satisfying and unique. Instead of getting discouraged, you’ll discover that learning Python can be easy and fun.
Learners will practice Python and the essential packages for data science through guided exploration labs and examples. Starting with simple Python statements, learners will be able to use the most common Python packages to play with data and gain insights from it.
