How Our Python Functions and Learn Jupyter Notebook Course Works

Through hands-on coding lessons, learners will master the basics of Python programming for data science. Most platforms teach via video-based lessons, especially at the beginner level. At Dataquest, we understand that in order to gain a truly competitive edge, you must begin coding at the start.

In order to get the most out of this course, learners should first complete our Variables, Data Types, and Lists in Python course, our For Loops and Conditional Statements in Python course, and our Dictionaries, Frequency Tables, and Functions in Python course. This will allow you to master key concepts such as defining default arguments, mutable and immutable data, and other tasks data analysts perform on a regular basis.

Another advantage of the Dataquest teaching method is our unique guided projects and practice problems. Both of these assets help improve your skills and expand your portfolio, which will improve your chances of impressing a hiring manager.

Finally, with Dataquest, you’ll never learn alone. We have a vast network of students and professionals who are eager to lend a helping hand. If our robust support tools and active community aren’t able to resolve your problems, we have a team of community managers on standby ready to serve.
