Course Learning Objectives

Before, companies had to take decisions with little data simply because data was not there. Decisions were taken in conditions of high uncertainty and risk. But, who doesn't want to reduce uncertainty? and who wants to take unnecessary risks?

Now, data is everywhere and companies strive to take advantage of it. But for that new competences are needed.

We have seen that before. Through the 70-90's being able to manage a spreadsheet made a difference. Not now anymore! Now, computer literacy is defined by the ability to program and to move yourself around in this new universe or rich data.

This course wants to be an introduction to programming in Python. Since Google choose Python as one of its main development tools, Python has become very popular for prototyping, web applications and data science. Literally thousands of libraries have been written for it and it is widely use everywhere.

We cannot promise you that you are going to become an expert but you'll get your feet wet with Programming and Python !!!

Looking forward to meet you!!!
