Session 3
Data Fundamentals and Introduction to Python
Class Objective:
The goal of this class is to introduce you to some of the foundational aspects of data generation as well as provide an introduction to programming with Python.
Readings (To be done before class):
- Chapters 1-3 from Principles of Data Wrangling
- Optional Activities: We will be focusing on some foundational Python concepts, but we will primarily be focusing on techniques and practices related to data science. Some students without a Python or more general programming foundation may prefer a step by step approach. DataCamp offers a nice step-by-step introduction and as part of this class you have a Premium Membership, which I’ll be emailing out. Intro to Python.
