Learning Path: From Python Programming to Data Science

Course details

Python has become the language of choice for most data analysts/data scientists to perform various tasks of data science. If you're looking forward to implementing Python in your data science projects to enhance data discovery, then this is the perfect Learning Path is for you. Starting out at the basic level, this Learning Path will take you through all the stages of data science in a step-by-step manner.

Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

We begin this journey with nailing down the fundamentals of Python. You'll be introduced to basic and advanced programming concepts of Python before moving on to data science topics. Then, you'll learn how to perform data analysis by taking advantage of the core data science libraries in the Python ecosystem. You'll also understand the data visualization concepts better, learn how to apply them and  overcome any challenges that you might face while implementing them. Moving ahead, you'll learn to use a wide variety of machine learning algorithms to solve real-world problems. Finally, you'll learn deep learning along with a brief  introduction to TensorFlow.

By the end of the Learning Path, you'll be able to improve the efficiency of your data science projects using Python.
