Event Details
About the Event: Data scientists need to know how to code, and Python is the most useful and versatile programming language for doing data science. In this practical data science Meetup, you’ll learn foundational skills for adding Python to your data science and analytics toolbox. A professional instructor from Galvanize’s Data Science Immersive program will guide you through writing your first machine learning algorithm (Naive Bayes) in Python from scratch. You'll learn how the algorithm works, where it can be used, and you'll get a chance to run it on real text data. You’ll leave this session equipped to write your own Python scripts to analyze data, and instructor recommendations about next steps to take on your pathway to data science. ****Parking is $5 in the Northshore Garage after 6 PM**** Prerequisites: This Meetup is for beginners and does not require prior programming experience or in-depth knowledge of statistics or probability. Participants who are familiar with concepts of data analysis, statistics, and probability will be better equipped to apply their skills after the conclusion of this meetup. Please have anaconda installed on your computer and know how to run basic commands in a Jupyter (IPython) notebook. What to Bring: Bring your laptop and charger. What we're doing will work on a Windows machine, but support from our instructor can only be provided for Mac and Linux users. Light snacks will be provided. What You’ll Learn: • How to write and run Python scripts• How to read data files into Python and analyze them• Which libraries and packages are most useful for analyzing data in Python (especially text data)• Why Python is a flexible, versatile language for doing data science• Which resources you should next utilize to develop your skills Schedule: 6:00 pm – Doors open, Networking & Snacking 6:30 pm – Lesson Kickoff, Working with Python About Galvanize: Galvanize is the premiere dynamic learning community for technology.
