Get up-to-speed with Python in a single day ☀️

As a data scientist, you'll spend a lot of time using Python libraries such as pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn. However, these libraries assume that you already know the fundamentals of the Python programming language. And if you don't know those fundamentals, you're going to get stuck!

This course will get you up-to-speed quickly with Python's most important features so that you can work in data science libraries with ease and be more productive as a data scientist!

Who should take this course?

This is the perfect course for you if:
  • You are new to Python, and you want to learn the most important features quickly
  • You have some Python experience, but you want to fill in the gaps in your knowledge
By the end of this course, you'll be ready to learn pandas, scikit-learn, and other data science libraries!
I'm neither an aspiring programmer nor an aspiring data scientist; I'm an accountant. That said, I wanted to learn Python to make working with data easier, in a "work smarter not harder" way. Looking for an introduction to Python, I found Kevin's Python Essentials course.

Each lesson logically built onto the last lesson.
The laddering of lessons was a great way to LEARN instead of memorize. Kevin takes the time to not only show a concept, but also explains the rationale. For someone like me looking to understand the WHY behind a method, Kevin's instructional style is GOLDEN!

The entire course could be completed in one day, but I completed it over 2 days, so I could learn, follow-along and take notes.

While I started from 0 in Python (I had a bit of SQL and HTML knowledge), I can't wait to dive a bit deeper and learn even more from Kevin.
For anyone looking to grasp the introductory concepts of Python: buy Kevin's course, set aside a day and you'll learn Python in no time.

This Python basics course is great! I am from Poland and my English is not very good, but the speed of the lessons was just right for me. Great job, Kevin.

This intro course is perfect for those who have little to no background with Python programming. At the same time, it's also useful as a review of the fundamental principles of the language for those who have more experience using Python.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Its structure, length, and topics were easy to follow and exceeded my expectations. It reinforced my existing Python knowledge while teaching me features I was unfamiliar with.

I highly recommend this course if you are looking for foundational material to get you started in your data science journey.

This is a great introductory course to the essentials of Python. I recommend it.

Kevin has a great approach to teaching Python without making things too involved and getting straight to the point without inundating one with unnecessary information.

Kevin is a great communicator and his style of explanation is very unique. All that he explained in this course was very clear to me.

The extra resources are fantastic as well, if you want to learn more about the topics covered in the course.
