Python Tutorial

This project will include basic functionality of common operations that are needed from most Python developers.

The purpose is to get users up and running on their own analyses as quickly as possible, and includes step-by-step code snippets (and explanations) for:

  • Bringing data into a pandas DataFrame through a CSV and API call
  • Manipulating raw data to make it appropriate for analysis

This is a work in progress. Hoping to add in the below features:

  • Resources for downloading/using Python 3.x, pip, and git
  • A "do-it-yourself" branch that asks questions that require the user to perform the operations covered

In order to use this repo, you must:

  • Create a Github account
  • If on Windows, download Git Bash
  • Run git clone https://github.com/b-o-l-l-a/python-tutorial.git in your Terminal (on a Mac) or Git Bash (on Windows)

Structure of the repository

Each branch of the project is designed to walk the user through a specific piece of functionality - for example, bringing data into a data frame from a CSV or API, and manipulating that dataframe.
