python fundamentals bootcamp day 2

What’s the difference between defining and calling a function? Define a function that takes parameters. Set default values for function parameters. Explain why we should divide programs into small, single-purpose functions. From yesterday we’ve seen that code can have Python make decisions about what it sees in our data. What if we want to convert some of our data, like taking a temperature in Fahrenheit and converting it to Celsius.

We could write something like this for converting a single number Wednesday, August 7, 2024 12:00pm to 1:00pm EDT This is part 2 of a four-part Python Bootcamp. Description: Join us for our premiere Python Bootcamp Week, offering a comprehensive dive into Python programming. Mirroring the approach of its R counterpart, the bootcamp unfolds through a sequence of dedicated sessions that encompass the full data analysis workflow. This includes importing and cleaning data, moving on to complex data manipulation, and employing advanced visualization techniques with the pandas and seaborn libraries.

Each day's workshop builds on the last, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and practical application of Python for data analysis. Day 2: "Data Centric Python with pandas" delves into Python's diverse data structures and unveils the analytical might of the pandas library, enhancing your data analysis skills. Target Audience: The target audience for this workshop series is beginners and intermediates in data science, particularly those interested in learning Python programming for data importation, exploration, cleaning, and visualization. Our real goal isn’t to teach workshop attendees Python as a programming language, but to teach them the basic concepts that all programming depends on. We use Python in our lessons because: We are using a dataset with records on inflammation from patients following an arthritis treatment.

We make reference in the lesson that this data is suspicious and has been synthetically generated in Python by the imaginary “Dr. Maverick”! The script used to generate the inflammation data is included as code/gen_inflammation.py. This lesson is written as an introduction to Python, but its real purpose is to introduce the single most important idea in programming: how to solve problems by building functions, each of which can... In order to teach that, we must teach people a little about the mechanics of manipulating data with lists and file I/O so that their functions can do things they actually care about. Our teaching order tries to show practical uses of every idea as soon as it is introduced; instructors should resist the temptation to explain the “other 90%” of the language as well.

The final example asks them to build a command-line tool that works with the Unix pipe-and-filter model. We do this because it is a useful skill and because it helps learners see that the software they use isn’t magical. Tools like grep might be more sophisticated than the programs our learners can write at this point in their careers, but it’s crucial they realize this is a difference of scale rather than kind. Almost no experience in IT besides a little self learning prior to the class. Eric taught every material to the T for the SEC+ Exam. I had an enjoyable time learning from him and possibly looking forward on taking more classes with him if I can.

This exam frightens me to the point of not wanting to sit through it again. I will report that the Training Camp bootcamp was far better than any other I’ve attended. I strongly encourage any individual to top their individual studying with the well informed and experienced personnel of Training Camp. They helped me maximize my learning experience! I left the class with a new-found confidence. Microsoft Azure DevOps Engineer Expert Boot Camp (AZ-400)
