According to recent industry surveys, Python is a highly popular tool used by organizations for business tasks. This course is designed for students who already have an intermediate programming background such as IDSC 3101/3102 (or equivalent Computer Science programming courses) and would like to explore using Python for tasks such as text processing, data analysis, and website scraping. This course focuses on business-oriented applications of Python without requiring students to learn formal computing concepts. Participants will then learn how to apply functionality from powerful and popular libraries. We will spend most of our class time completing practical hands-on exercises.
