Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Python
Class Description:
We build software projects from popular Anaconda Python packages.
Why Anaconda?
Anaconda is a high quality Python distribution constructed by a team of experienced engineers.
Why Packages?
Writing high quality software is difficult.
The quality of the software in most Python packages is much higher than the quality of my code.
I should use packages to increase the quality of my software.
Why reinvent the wheel when I can just use a reusable jet engine built by an expert?
This is a project based learning opportunity. You can work solo or try to find a coding partner.
In the class you will get feedback from peers and advice from an expert software instructor.
Half of class-time will be lecture, half will be hands-on lab.
During the week, between classes, you will have access to online help from the instructor and other students.
All the students will be provided the same VirtualBox Ubuntu 16 environment with the aim of reducing cross-platform problems.
An additional AWS Ubuntu 16 AMI with Anaconda will be provided.
After the 8 week session, you might have some new coding friends who will help you learn more.
Most Anaconda Packages are listed below:
