Description:

This workshop covers the key Python skills you will need so you can start using Python for machine learning. The workshop is ideal for: * Those who wants to add Python to their repertoire or level up their basic Python skills. * Aspiring programmers who are learning their first programming language In this workshop you will learn the fundamentals of Python primarily through a series of coding exercises guided by the instructor. Participants will learn about the foundational underpinnings of Python as well as how to put that knowledge to the test with practical exercises. The workshop takes project-focused approach to teach you Python by building projects. We will walk you through a series of curated projects, and explain the key concepts as they arise. You will learn the theory and how they work under the hood while writing code

We will start with learning Python in general, and then move to learn how to get started on machine learning with Python.

Prerequisites:

Have the Python, Pandas, Matplotlib, Pip, Visual Studio, Jupyter Notebook and SKlearn installed in their laptop. Handle Visual Studio with Python and Jupyter Notebook
