Gain proficiency, productivity, and power by working on projects
and kick-starting your career in Python with this comprehensive,
hands-on guide. Key Features Understand and utilize Python syntax,
objects, methods, and best practices Explore Python's many features
and libraries through real-world problems and big data Use your
newly acquired Python skills in machine learning as well as web and
software development Book DescriptionPython is among the most
popular programming languages in the world. It's ideal for
beginners because it's easy to read and write, and for developers,
because it's widely available with a strong support community,
extensive documentation, and phenomenal libraries - both built-in
and user-contributed. This project-based course has been designed
by a team of expert authors to get you up and running with Python.
You'll work though engaging projects that'll enable you to leverage
your newfound Python skills efficiently in technical jobs, personal
projects, and job interviews. The book will help you gain an edge
in data science, web development, and software development,
preparing you to tackle real-world challenges in Python and pursue
advanced topics on your own. Throughout the chapters, each
component has been explicitly designed to engage and stimulate
different parts of the brain so that you can retain and apply what
you learn in the practical context with maximum impact. By
completing the course from start to finish, you'll walk away
feeling capable of tackling any real-world Python development
problem. What you will learn Write efficient and concise functions
using core Python methods and libraries Build classes to address
different business needs Create visual graphs to communicate key
data insights Organize big data and use machine learning to make
regression and classification predictions Develop web pages and
programs with Python tools and packages Automate essential tasks
using Python scripts in real-time execution Who this book is
forThis book is for professionals, students, and hobbyists who want
to learn Python and apply it to solve challenging real-world
problems. Although this is a beginner's course, you'll learn more
easily if you already have an understanding of standard programming
topics like variables, if-else statements, and functions.
Experience with another object-oriented program, though not
essential, will also be beneficial. If Python is your first attempt
at computer programming, this book will help you understand the
basics with adequate detail for a motivated student.
Learn the fundamentals of clean, effective Python coding and build
the practical skills to tackle your own software development or
data science projects Key Features Build key Python skills with
engaging development tasks and challenging activities Implement
useful algorithms and write programs to solve real-world problems
Apply Python in realistic data science projects and create simple
machine learning models Book DescriptionHave you always wanted to
learn Python, but never quite known how to start? More applications
than we realize are being developed using Python because it is easy
to learn, read, and write. You can now start learning the language
quickly and effectively with the help of this interactive tutorial.
The Python Workshop starts by showing you how to correctly apply
Python syntax to write simple programs, and how to use appropriate
Python structures to store and retrieve data. You'll see how to
handle files, deal with errors, and use classes and methods to
write concise, reusable, and efficient code. As you advance, you'll
understand how to use the standard library, debug code to
troubleshoot problems, and write unit tests to validate application
behavior. You'll gain insights into using the pandas and NumPy
libraries for analyzing data, and the graphical libraries of
Matplotlib and Seaborn to create impactful data visualizations. By
focusing on entry-level data science, you'll build your practical
Python skills in a way that mirrors real-world development.
Finally, you'll discover the key steps in building and using simple
machine learning algorithms. By the end of this Python book, you'll
have the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively tackle your
own ambitious projects with Python. What you will learn Write clean
and well-commented code that is easy to maintain Automate essential
day-to-day tasks with Python scripts Debug logical errors and
handle exceptions in your programs Explore data science
fundamentals and create engaging visualizations Get started with
predictive machine learning Keep your development process bug-free
with automated testing Who this book is forThis book is designed
for anyone who is new to the Python programming language. Whether
you're an aspiring software engineer or data scientist, or are just
curious about learning how to code with Python, this book is for
you. No prior programming experience is required.
