Session material and solutions for the Practical Python course at AZ Macclesfield
Note, this course is now deprecated in place of the AstraZeneca Data Science Academy's Data Science Python course.
Each session is contained in its own folder and includes the Powerpoint presentation given in the session, solutions for the session execises in a Jupyter notebook, and a model solution for the session project as a Python script.
The project solution is intended to be a model solution containing full documentation and testing. It is not expected for you to add such additional components to your solution but rather you should focus on the essential parts. A full solution is only provided as indication of the direction we want to be heading in and to build up experience with looking at source code.
- Learn about list comprehension and functions for writing clear and efficient Python code
- Learn how to convert to and from ASCII-ordinal representations of characters
