Python for Data Analy & Vis

This course is designed to introduce students with little or no prior programming experience to the art of programming through the lens of exploring data. Students will build a core foundation in the Python programming language as well as data analysis and visualization. This course is a hands-on, experiential class that students learn by solving actual business problems using Python under the guidance of the instructor. Topics will include programming fundamentals and logic such as variables, input & output, control structures, functions, data types, data manipulation, and object-oriented concepts. Students will apply the Python programming language and essential data science techniques to solve various problems. At the end of this course, students will complete a final project as a team which cohesively ties together all the covered concepts.
