Overview

The goal of this brief course is to provide you with a fun introduction to the world of Data Science with Python.

Here's what we'll be doing:

• Overview of basic Python and programming concepts
• Building a simple application using Python
• Playing around and break things

Setting up your computer

Please set up the following:

• A web browser to see what we're working on as others see it (Recommend Google Chrome: [chrome.google.com] (http://chrome.google.com))

• We're going to use Google Colab so you will need a Google account if you want to save your own copy.

Well... that was easy!

What this workshop is

A super friendly introduction to Python No previous experience expected!

You can't learn EVERYTHING in ~2 hours. But you can learn enough to get excited and comfortable to keep working and learning on your own! I will link to some resources, and I can email them to you later!

• This course is for absolute beginners
• Ask Questions!
• Answer Questions!
• Help others when you can
• Its ok to get stuck, just ask for help!
• Feel free to move ahead
• Be patient and nice

About you!

Give a quick Intro!

• Whats your name?
• Whats your background?
• Why are you interested in Data Science?

What is Data Science?

Great question!

Different Companies and people will have different definitions for roles.

In general I like to broadly think of it as "Solving problems using data".

• Data Collection and storage
• Data Cleaning, prepping
• Analytics, Metrics, gaining insights
• A/B Testing
• AI
  • Machine Learning
  • Deep Learning

Understanding the business problem is important for each step above.

Jobs in Data Science

• The Data Analyst
• The Data Engineer
• The Data Science
• Machine Learning Engineer
• Deep Learning Engineer
• Computer Vision Engineer
• Natural Language Processing(NLP) Engineer
• More!

Who uses Python?

I would say most major companies using Data Science and machine learning.

Other Languages: Scala, R

Popular Frameworks and libraries to keep in mind

• Data Science
  • Pandas
  • MatplotLib
  • seaborn
  • Tensorflow
  • Keras
  • Numpy
  • Pandas
  • ScikitLearn
  • OpenCV
  • pytorch
  • A BILLION MORE!

Note: if you're thinking of exploring data science with python look into using Anaconda to manage your python and data libraries

Google Colab is a awesome place to start as well without having to install anything!

What we'll do!

We're going to:

• Understand a dataset
• Visualize the data in a meaningful way
• Use Machine learning to make predictions

For this we're going to use:

• Pandas
• Matplotlib
• ScikitLearn

Follow along and code in Google colab
