This hands-on workshop will introduce some of the basics of data science using the Python programming language. For an added layer of fun, we'll be working with this dataset (https://github.com/chrisalbon/war_of_the_five_kings_dataset). By the end, you should know how to set up your environment, import libraries, explore data, conduct some analysis, and even create a visualization.
