Highlight of the Week - Getting Started with Pandas for Data Analysis
To access the full course, start your 7 days trial
This tutorial offers a comprehensive introduction to the powerful pandas library for data analysis built on top of the Python programming language. Pandas represents a great step forward for graphical spreadsheet users looking to grow their data manipulation skills. I like to call it "Excel on steroids".
By completing this workshop, you'll have a strong foundation for using Pandas in your day-to-day data analysis needs. We'll start out with the basics -- importing datasets, selecting rows and columns, filtering rows by criteria -- and progress to advanced concepts like grouping values, joining multiple datasets together, and cleaning text.
Students will be exposed to diverse data sets across different disciplines -- sports, finance, entertainment, and more. The training is open to all industries and is targeted for beginners --- basic Python knowledge is preferred but not required.
