Course Description |
||
| This is a 5 - day course that provides a ramp - up to using Python for
data science/machine learning. Starting with the basics, it progresses
to the most important Python modules for working with data, from arrays,
to statistics, to plotting results. The material is geared towards data
scientists and engineers. This is an intense, hands - on, programming
class. All concepts are reinforced by informal practice during the
lecture followed by lab exercises. Many labs build on earlier labs which
helps students retain the earlier material. Python for Programming,
Scikit-Learn and Tensorflow is a practical introduction to a working
programming language, not an academic overview of syntax and grammar.
Students will immediately be able to use Python to complete tasks in the
real world.
Course Length: 5 Days
Course Tuition: $2090 (US) |

Prerequisites |
|
| Students must have at least 1 year of hands on data science experience and must be comfortable working with a variety of machine learning algorithms. Students should also be comfortable working with files and folders, and should not be afraid of the command line in Linux, Windows, or MacOS. | |

Pros
Easy to Learn:
The learning curve is very mild and the language is versatile and fast to develop.
Massive Libraries:
You can find a library for basically anything: from web development, through game development, to machine learning.
Do More with Less Code:
You can build prototypes and test out ideas much quicker in Python than in other language
|
Cons
Speed Limitations: It is an interpretive language and therefore much slower than compiled languages. Problems with Threading: Multi-threaded CPU-bound programs may be slower than single-threaded ones do to the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) that allows only one thread to execute at a time. Weak on Mobile: Although, there are a number or libraries that provide a way to develop for both Android and iOS using Python currently Android and iOS don’t support Python as an official programming language. |
