However, Python is only a tool used by data scientists for analyzing complex data. To become a data scientist, you need to learn how to analyze data using various tools and libraries in the ecosystem such as NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Plotly. Keep in mind that the ability to extract, load, transform, reshape, and visualize data using Python is the key to the success.

This course focuses on teaching the necessary coding, data wrangling, data analysis, and visualization skills required for data scientists. Do you want to know how we help students maximize their learning effectiveness through hands-on projects, coding quizzes, presentations, strong teaching guidance, and support?

What you will learn

Hands-on Learning

There's nothing textbook about our approach. With hands-on projects taught by data scientists who actually work in the field, you will learn the intuition, methodology, and end-to-end data science pipeline that you won't be able to learn from MOOCs. In this course, you will learn Python programming, Pandas DataFrame for data munging and analysis, NumPy and SciPy for numerical computing, Matplotlib, Seaborn and Plotly for visualization, and Scikit-Learn for predictive modeling. You will put these tools to use by implementing your own portfolio projects. Instructors will guide you on project scoping, data source research, data collection/scraping, as well as data analysis and presentation. It is a very business-driven and agile environment where students work either in groups or individually to tackle real-life data problems.

Python Programming: programming logic, syntax, data types, flow control, functions and modules
Data wrangling with Pandas DataFrame
Data visualization with Plotly, Seaborn, and Matplotlib
Statistics and linear algebra basics with NumPy and SciPy
Implementation of your first ML algorithm from scratch

Learn end to end data science process

Don't become a "data scientist" who only knows how to work with Jupyter Notebook and Python packages. The job market needs candidates who understand things end to end and know how to collect data by writing a scraping job or calling a Data API, transform data into different shapes, discover insight via visualization, and do predictive analytics to support decision sciences.

Decide how to scope a data project under time/budget constraints
Set up data collection strategy
Perform exploratory data analysis
Transform, merge and aggregate data for predictive modeling
Build regression or classification models
Summarize and visualize analytical insights
Communicate and suggest business strategies via presentations and documentation

Use Pandas DataFrame to work with various data structures

Work with different data sources (csv, text, json, gzip, parquet, database)
Filter and transform data using Pandas and NumPy
Merge multiple datasets using DataFrame
Aggregation data by columns using dataframe.groupby
Use WINDOW functions to deal with rolling windows
Treat missing and extreme values

Visualize data using Python

A plot is worth more than a thousand words! A data scientist will use visualization techniques for two purposes: 1) to explore and understand the data and 2) to communicate data insights to the business team. In this course, you will learn:

Basic plotting using Matplotlib and Pandas
Data exploration using Seaborn
Visualize geolocation data using Folium and GeoPandas
Build and deploy interactive dashboard using Plotly Dash

Learn math for data science

In this module, you will learn enough math so that you can interpret a statistical distribution, handle data with skewed distributions, explore correlations between variables, perform regression analysis and interpret the results, and understand statistical testing and sampling.

Introduction to statistics and SciPy
Introduction to linear algebra and NumPy
Regression analysis 101

Build data science portfolio projects

Practice makes perfect. Students will come up with their own ideas and work on two capstone projects in this course so they can use them for their job search. Original project ideas with strong motivation are always suggested. Throughout the process, students receive guidance from instructors on how to get started and frequently discuss the progress. Instructors who are industry experts will teach students how to turn the project into a proper portfolio that can be demonstrated to a hiring manager.

Problem framing and scoping
Writing the project requirements
Data collection through web scraping or data APIs
Data visualization and analysis
Insight analysis and project documentation
Creating a portfolio through blogging and Github

What our students are saying

 5/5

Excellent experience in Weclouddata! The courses are well-organized and keeping up with the ever-evolving data science trend. Each lecture covers a specific DS topic and theory, followed by a real coding demo session, which is really valuable for a data course. Plus, the assignment for each lecture is fully leveraging what has already been learned and requires students’ efforts to dig deeper — I only wish I would have more time after work to go over all of them. A TA session is also designed for each course, which usually occurs once every week or more often. I can always feel free to raise questions there or even offline on Slack. That’s quite supportive!”

 5/5

I started this course without formal programming or statistic/math background. I really enjoyed the top-down approach used by the Instructor, not only does it keep you interested when learning the libraries and syntax, it also drives you to peruse more self-learning. The instructor along with the TA was very approachable and encouraging. I enjoyed showing them where I was in regards to the class projects and getting feedback on what I could try next. The live coding made the class engaging and not only helped show the process that a developer might take when solving a problem. This class was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it to not only those seeking careers in data science but for those who just want a general taste in programming as well.
