All the basics for Data Science with Python. You wont be a master programmer after this class but you will understand the basics and computer logic in regards to data handling and cloud management.
by AAJun 23, 2021
Briefly it covers a lot of topics. Learnt many new things in such a short span of time. Its just that the Hands on tool was a little slow. Rest everything was pretty simple and its good for beginners.
