About the Course:
Python is a popular open source programming language used for both standalone programs and scripting
applications in a wide variety of domains. It is free, portable, and powerful and is both relatively easy and
remarkably fun to use. lity in machine learning, data analytics
and many other data science application. This is introductory course and covers most of the basic concepts
required for basic python programming. Some of the contents are advanced may be useful for data analytics
purpose.
