A warm welcome to the Data Science with Python course by Uplatz.

Data Science with Python involves not only using Python language to clean, analyze and visualize data, but also applying Python programming skills to predict and identify trends useful for decision-making.

Why Python for Data Science?

Since data revolution has made data as the new oil for organizations, today's decisions are driven by multidisciplinary approach of using data, mathematical models, statistics, graphs, databases for various business needs such as forecasting weather, customer segmentation, studying protein structures in biology, designing a marketing campaign, opening a new store, and the like. The modern data-powered technology systems are driven by identifying, integrating, storing and analyzing data for useful business decisions. Scientific logic backed with data provides solid understanding of the business and its analysis. Hence there is a need for a programming language that can cater to all these diverse needs of data science, machine learning, data analysis & visualization, and that can be applied to practical scenarios with efficiency. Python is a programming language that perfectly fits the bill here and shines bright as one such language due to its immense power, rich libraries and built in features that make it easy to tackle the various facets of Data Science.

This Data Science with Python course by Uplatz will take your journey from the fundamentals of Python to exploring simple and complex datasets and finally to predictive analysis & models development. In this Data Science using Python course, you will learn how to prepare data for analysis, perform complex statistical analyses, create meaningful data visualizations, predict future trends from data, develop machine learning & deep learning models, and more.

The Python programming part of the course will gradually take you from scratch to advanced programming in Python. You'll be able to write your own Python scripts and perform basic hands-on data analysis. If you aspire to become a data scientist and want to expand your horizons, then this is the perfect course for you. The primary goal of this course is to provide you a comprehensive learning framework to use Python for data science.

In the Data Science with Python training you will gain new insights into your data and will learn to apply data science methods and techniques, along with acquiring analytics skills. With understanding of the basic python taught in the initial part of this course, you will move on to understand the data science concepts, and eventually will gain skills to apply statistical, machine learning, information visualization, text analysis, and social network analysis techniques through popular Python toolkits such as pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, scikit-learn, and so on.

The Data Science with Python training will help you learn and appreciate the fact that how this versatile language (Python) allows you to perform rich operations starting from import, cleansing, manipulation of data, to form a data lake or structured data sets, to finally visualize data - thus combining all integral skills for any aspiring data scientist, analyst, consultant, or researcher. In this Data Science using Python training, you will also work with real-world datasets and learn the statistical & machine learning techniques you need to train the decision trees and/or use natural language processing (NLP). Simply grow your Python skills, understand the concepts of data science, and begin your journey to becoming a top data scientist.
