  • Which city in India is home of the most active actresses and actors?

And lots of other questions. Do you want to know the answers? And even better, would you like to discover them yourself by using Python and popular libraries such as pandas, Gensim and scikit-learn? And cutting-edge data science techniques? Join us for a workshop full of insights where you will be able to answer your own questions while learning the most advanced Python libraries and algorithms.

The workshop is designed for Python programmers new to data science. Everybody is welcome, but data analysts and people experienced with pandas will find some parts basic.
