In this lesson, we are going to learn one of the most fundamental concepts in programming, functions. Functions help us to write a piece of code once and call it several times. Understanding the concept of functions and their usage will improve your programming skill dramatically and make your life…

Python is an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language, which means almost everything is an object in Python. Basically, an object is a collection of attributes (variables) and methods that act on the attributes. In this lesson, I am not going to open the object-oriented programming discussion up here; we will learn…

Even the code size of tiny real-world applications is gigantic. In fact, it is common that an application contains thousands of lines of code. If you put the entire code in a single file, it becomes a really big file that you will not be able to debug the code…

In the previous lessons, you have learned what Python is, how to install Anaconda, and how to use Jupyter Notebook. In the first part of the Python Basics tutorial, we will focus on one of the core concepts in all programming languages: data types. This tutorial is based on the…

Jupyter Notebook is an extremely powerful and useful tool for developing data analytics projects interactively. In the previous lesson, you learned how to install Anaconda on your computer. This lesson will walk you through how to use Jupyter Notebook for data science projects. As I mentioned, a notebook (Jupyter Notebook) helps you combine code and its output along with markdown texts, math equations, visualizations, and…

Before you jump into the Python ocean, you need to set up the required software and tools. In this course, we will use the Anaconda platform, Jupyter Notebook as an integrated development environment (IDE), and definitely Python programming language. As I mentioned in the previous lesson, Python is a cross-platform…

Whether you are a novice in programming or have experience in different programming languages, In this series of posts, which I call the Python for Analytics course, you will learn the required knowledge and skills to write code in Python by building real applications. …

Learning data science is a journey; you should enjoy the road because there is no destination. If you have already taken a course, do not wait until you finish the course to kick off your data science projects. …
