Information from the Internet are stored in different types of websites and formats. This course will use Python to cover a variety of web scraping methods, so that students can find relevant data in different environments. The course will demonstrate private and open data such as supermarkets, forums and COVID-19 and turn those into machine-readable formats for further analysis.
When dealing with large amounts of data, traditional tools such as Excel are no longer sufficient and maintenance costs are high. This course will teach commonly used tools in Python (pandas, seaborn, numpy) and demonstrate how to effectively handle common data wrangling once the data has been collected.
Unlike traditional courses which each lesson could only cover one or two topics in the lecture, our online videos focus on all necessary knowledge and theory which students may choose their own place, own time and own pace to study. After reviewing the online videos, our offline classes focus on practical skills and exercises which are always the most needed parts for our students to master real-world programming skills.
All lessons are worth to watch again and again. After the course, students are granted lifelong access to the course videos. Anytime, anywhere to watch videos and even ask questions to our instructors.
