Our Python for Data Analysts training course is for people new to Python.
It is designed for Quants, Data Scientists, Data Analysts, Financial Analysts, Researchers, Business Intelligence experts and Developers who are new to Python. Also software developers who are new to Python and Data Science or want to know more about the Python tools for Data Analysis.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Our Python Introduction training course is for people who are new to Python and more interested in the language rather than the financial libraries.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
What is Python
Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small- and large-scale projects
Why learn Python?
Python can be used very effectively for rapid test script development. Through hands-on practicals, you will see why Python is simple enough to be used to teach young children to program, and advanced enough to be used by MIT to teach computer science. It is perhaps the most widely used dynamic language with many high quality, open source libraries and frameworks.
Why Python and not Excel?
"Python is the new Excel - essential skills for Banking & Data Analysis" - Our Python training course will show you why, in programming terms, Python has every angle covered. It is used extensively in the cloud, and is one of the first languages to support Google App Engine. Python is popular among scientific communities through the SciPy package. Its simplicity makes it easy enough for beginners who use a Raspberry Pi, which was originally targeted to run Python. System administrators, looking for more than shell scripts, also take to Python, given the extensive library support available.
What is Pandas and why use it?
Pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with “relational” or “labeled” data both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for doing practical, real-world data analysis in Python.
Python or Power BI?
Power BI is a good way to visually zoom in, compare and filter data. In this way, an analysis is also easy to share with other people. The big advantage of data analysis using Python is the speed. With a simple script you dig through a large mountain of data, make groupings and merge data.
Power BI is a point and click tool meant for common usage while Python and R are more coding oriented, heavy duty and customizable.
How hard is Python to learn?
Python is widely considered one of the easiest programming languages for a beginner to learn, but it is also difficult to master. Anyone can learn Python if they work hard enough at it, but becoming a Python Developer will require a lot of practice and patience.
