MBA Bootcamps

In this bootcamp you will learn the most basic and essential aspects of Python programming.  The topics are tailored towards data analysis; no prior programming experience is required.  We will cover variables, data types and data structures, data frames, conditionals, loops, and functions.  We will also cover reading and writing raw files, and the core APIs in analysis and visualization.  With the basics under your belt, we will complement it with some of the most popular libraries for data analysis in Python, such as: Pandas and Numpy for data manipulation, Matplotlib for visualization, and Jupyter Notebook for analysis and reporting. These packages will facilitate workflow and enhance the basic Python functionalities; using them, one can effortlessly clean up a dataset, create elaborate plots, analyze and summarize the data, and produce presentable reports. At the end of the module, you solidify your new skills by applying the concepts you have learned to the analysis of several datasets. You will be given the opportunity to live-code during the sessions and troubleshoot your code with your classmates and the instructor. You will walk out of this bootcamp with newly-forged Python coding skills, knowledge of several of the most important data science libraries and tools, and have resources in hand for learning more.
