Are you curious about coding, have a project in mind and don’t know where to start or think developing fundamental knowledge about programming can be helpful? In this workshop, we will use Python, a very popular, powerful, yet simple programming language to discuss and demonstrate foundational coding concepts.
In this course, you'll embark on an eight-week journey to build a foundation in Python. Each week, you'll dive into crucial programming concepts, starting from setting up your environment to implementing advanced machine learning models. By the end of this course, you'll be comfortable in Python, ready to apply your skills to real-world research problems.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand the fundamentals of Python, including variables, data types, and basic operations and error handing.
- Be familiar with list operations, slicing, if-else statements and logical operators.
- Utilize functions and loops to create simple scripts.
- Handle files efficiently and leverage NumPy for array manipulation.
- Anlayze data with Pandas.
- Visualize your data with Matplotlib and Seaborn.
