Python Programming: From Beginner to Intermediate is an essential training course for anyone who wants to begin learning Python. Using a Python IDE (integrated development environment) called iPython from Anaconda, the expert instructors in this course will lead you step-by-step through topics such as: functional language constructs, automated reports, website scraping, and natural language processing.

What am I going to get from this course?

• Pick up programming even if you have NO programming experience at all
• Write Python programs of moderate complexity
• Perform complicated text processing - splitting articles into sentences and words and doing things with them
• Work with files, including creating Excel spreadsheets and working with zip files
• Apply simple machine learning and natural language processing concepts such as classification, clustering and summarization
• Understand Object-Oriented Programming in a Python context

What is the target audience?

• Folks with zero programming experience looking to learn a new skill
• Machine Learning and Language Processing folks looking to apply concepts in a full-fledged programming language
• Computer Science students or software engineers with no experience in Java, but experience in Python, C++ or even C#. You might need to skip over some bits, but in general the class will still have new learning to offer you.
