Developing a Routine for Performing Data Analysis with Pandas Webinar

Although there is no universally accepted approach to beginning a data analysis effort, it is typically a good idea to develop a formal process for yourself when first examining a dataset. This routine can manifest itself as a dynamic checklist of tasks that evolves as your data exploration skills progress. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is…

Let’s Build Something with MongoDB & Python

MongoDB is the most wanted database technology of 2017. Python is the fastest-growing major programming language. These two tech titans combine in this webcast to build something useful and interesting. We’ll build a simple, data-driven application in Python based on MongoDB live throughout the event.
