About this group

It takes you through the fundamentals of Python and shows you how to create your first programs. You’ll be able to take more advanced courses like Basic Finance, Data Science, Investments, and more after you’ve completed this course. This course is delivered using a learning-by-doing methodology. You’ll be able to see the coding take place in real-time in Jupiter notebooks. There are additional problem sets with answers for each part, as well as a GitHub repository containing all of the course notes. The course is organized as follows: Variables are the fundamental building blocks of programming that store data. If Statements and Boolean Values include methods for determining whether or not statements are true and acting on them. Data structures for storing variables include lists, sets, and tuples. Developing an understanding of how to iterate across data sets Branching out to a new data structure using dictionaries Building Defensive and Well-Explained Code with Assertions and Docstrings Matplotlib is a data visualization library.
