This course providing two learning experiences in one: it explores the world of data science while at the same time giving you hands-on, practical tutorials on how to use Python at an advanced level.

You will learn what data science is and the methods used for data analysis and statistical inference. A large number of guided walkthroughs show you how to use Python and its features. You will learn how to set up Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook and learn, using real-world examples, how to write Python code in Jupyter, with useful tips within the context of data science.

The course then moves on to explore a variety of Python features including loops, classes, variables, stringification, and dictionaries and how to create them — all of which is explained through the use of practical demonstrations.

You will also have the chance to put your Python programming skills into practice. This course includes a hands-on lab that gives you a guided tutorial in Python, as well as a lab playground for you to try out anything you feel like in Python. Finally, a lab challenge sets you a task that you will have to complete on your own and without any help — the ultimate test of your programming abilities!
