Video Description

This course lays the foundation from which you can begin using Python to solve any problem - whether in data analysis, machine learning or web development. It gives you a fundamental understanding of Python loops, data structures, functions, classes, and more, to help you solve basic programming tasks so that you can confidently apply those skills to solve real problems. The course assumes zero prior experience with Python, though some fundamental knowledge of programming is recommended.
