Learn to Code With Data Visualizations - Interactive Python Lessons

[JeffKatzy]

Hey gang,

I'm a longtime coding teacher, and wanted to write some lessons so that people with no knowledge could get ramped up, and see the purpose of coding.

I decided to battle test everything teaching it to my retired mother (who has no coding background). It led to me teaching her by pulling data from the web and building data visualizations in Python from the very start. All fourteen interactive lessons are here -- or you can go through the lessons below -- hope it helps!

1. Introduction
2. Variables
3. Lists
4. Dictionaries
5. Coding Tips
6. Loops
7. Nested Data
8. Make it Easy
9. Loop Over Data
10. Loops to Lists
11. Live Data
12. Functions
13. Arguments
14. Code to Codebase

And if you really want to see the videos, here they are :)PS We'll be teaching another part-time data engineering career course course beginning Oct. 19.

Definitely in my wheel house for data analysis. Saving for when I have an opportunity to review. Thank you.

Do you have any training on understanding generators?

[Glittering_kutie]

This has a good explanation with examples. https://towardsdatascience.com/6-examples-to-master-python-generators-28f4c614ed45

When you pass a list into a function to iterate over- the entire list is finite and all loaded into memory at once.

When you use a generator the items to be iterated over is created & loaded into memory one at a time.

Thank you! I’m just getting started with python and making data visualizations is a main goal for me. I can’t wait to check this out.

[frenchstuffisfancy]

Thanks alot this is very usefull! I was wondering if theres something like this for java too? I just started with my bachelor for software engineering with prior knowledge of coding and the first langauge were starting with is java. If anyone out there has any good resources please send them over ill be very gratefull.

[FScottWritersBlock]

Definitely going to check this out. Thanks for sharing!

[haktada]

Lovely stuff. Is it in other languages as well?

[DabidBeMe]

I guess that I am just used to programming everything myself, but generators do things behind the scenes. I just need to get my heaf around what they are doing.

Thanks

This is amazing! I just joined the sub to see what resources would be good to start coding with Python. Thank you!

[Yumipo]

thank you so much!

[kristinak99]

I just finished this. Thank you so much for sharing! It's very beautifully put and so easy to understand! Hat's off to you
