Back by popular demand, Metis Seattle will be hosting “One Day at Bootcamp” to give you a chance to see what the experience is really like! You’ll receive free, interactive training in beginner-level Python from Senior Data Scientist at Metis, Roberto Reif.

The curriculum is designed for those with zero prior exposure to Python and the data science stack for Python.

Schedule

• 10:00 - 10:30 - Setup and Orientation

• 10:30 - 12:00 - Python Basics

The first 1.5 hours will introduce the basics of Python, focusing on the portions of Python that are most essential to using the language in a practical way.

Midway, we'll break for one hour. Lunch will not be provided, but there are plenty of great options nearby in the Pioneer Square area.

After lunch, we'll reconvene and focus on hands-on learning by working on various exercises with Python. Finally, you’ll build a small project that works with text data, loading files, cleaning strings, etc. to find what words are the most common in a document.

Requirements:

A laptop with Anaconda installed.
