Overview:
Python programming language helps one work quickly and integrate systems more effectively. You can learn to use Python and see almost immediate gains in productivity and lower maintenance costs. Python runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X amongst others, and has been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines too. It is an amazing language – easy to learn, yet very powerful!
Python is free to use, even for commercial products, because of its OSI-approved open source license. This 2.5-day program is designed to introduce the audience to Python and covers much of the essentials with enough guidance for one to get started on their own on Python projects. We’ll be using Python 2.x/3.x for this program.
We’ll also be solving some interesting data science / machine learning related problems using Python !
