Familiar with Python? Want to delve deeper? The second of our two-part Python series will have you getting dirty with data as you dive into cleaning, manipulation and analyzing data using Python, all that fun stuff!
Agenda:
In this workshop, we will cover:
1. Basics of Pandas (a Python library that helps you manipulate datasets)
2. Subsetting/Filtering Data
3. Data Visualisation with Matplotlib
She Loves Data has been inspiring women all over the world to pursue a career in data and technology. Together with Sarah Nooravi from SNAP, we’re excited to bring you this hands-on workshop where you can take your first leap into an exciting future career or fine tune your data analysis and visualization skills.
Python is one of the most popular and employable programming languages in the world, and it’s increasingly becoming the preferred language of data analysts and scientists everywhere. It’s powerful, flexible, and well-supported, making it a great first language for beginners.
For setup, make sure you’ve got:
– A laptop with a charger (Mac or Windows, we don’t mind).
– A web browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari)
– Zoom. (A pair of headphones or a headset would also be preferable.)
