Working with Python

Continuing on from Practical Data Science with Python, this Lesson explores a variety of Python features in a practical, hands-on way. It starts by looking at Python functions and you are given a guided walkthrough of a range of functions relating to data science. It then moves on to dictionaries in Python and how to create them. After that, you'll be guided through flow control in Python, loops, and finally, you'll be shown a technical demonstration in Python looking at classes, variables, and stringification.

Learning Objectives

The main objective of this Lesson is to enhance your knowledge of Python, and learn about Python functions, loops, dictionaries, and flow control.

Intended audience

This Lesson is intended for IT professionals who already have a good knowledge of Python and who want to enhance that knowledge from a data science perspective.
