FILIP SCHOUWENAARS: Hi.
My name is Filip, and I'm
a teacher at DataCamp.
DataCamp is an online
data science school,
and together with Microsoft,
we have created a new course.
Introduction to Python for Data Science.
Python is a very powerful
programming language
that you can use to build
practically any piece of software.
But you can also use
it to do data science.
Model your sales data, to text
mining on your latest Twitter
feeds, or build the next
movie recommendation engine.
It's all possible with Python.
Python is open source,
and there's a bunch
of programmers across
the world that have
written amazing extensions to Python,
to help you achieve great things.
The best way to learn
Python is by doing.
And that's why you will
spend most of your time
in our interactive learning interface.
After fun video lessons on edX, you move
to our interactive coding environment,
where you get instant and
personalized feedback that
guides you to the correct solution.
You'll learn about the basics of
Python, such as variables, lists,
and functions.
Also, specific packages to
do data science are covered.
Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas.
This intro course is
the best way to learn
Python, specifically for data science.
No prior knowledge or technical
background is required.
So enroll now, and get yourself
ready for the skill of the future.
