Intro to Data Science with IPython, Pandas, Bokeh
Speaker:
Level:
Intermediate
Location:
South Tower - Brooklyn Actors
Prerequisites:
Basic working knowledge of Python is expected, and attendees should have laptops with at least 4gb of RAM, and ideally have the Anaconda Python distribution already installed. (Anaconda is cross-platform and can cleanly install into a subdirectory, without interfering with your system Python installation).
Abstract:
You will learn the basics of how to effectively use modern Python tools for data analytics, visualization, and collaboration. We will see how Pandas (in conjunction with NumPy) can be used to import, clean, and structure data. Then, we will use Bokeh to construct interactive graphics to explore some datasets. Finally, we will see how doing all of this within IPython Notebook allows us to easily share our work on the web.
