"I hadn't integrated Pandas with Python before joining my company. So it's very useful to consolidate my understanding of such skill via this course. The Jupyter notebooks provided will be a valuable resource for revising the materials and are really well laid out."

What is Python

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small- and large-scale projects

Why learn Python?

Python can be used very effectively for rapid test script development. Through hands-on practicals, you will see why Python is simple enough to be used to teach young children to program,  and advanced enough to be used by MIT to teach computer science. It is perhaps the most widely used dynamic language with many high quality, open source libraries and frameworks.  

Why Python and not Excel?

"Python is the new Excel - essential skills for Banking & Data Analysis" -  Our Python training course will show you why, in programming terms, Python has every angle covered. It is used extensively in the cloud, and is one of the first languages to support Google App Engine. Python is popular among scientific communities through the SciPy package. Its simplicity makes it easy enough for beginners who use a Raspberry Pi, which was originally targeted to run Python. System administrators, looking for more than shell scripts, also take to Python, given the extensive library support available.

What is Pandas and why use it?

Pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with “relational” or “labeled” data both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for doing practical, real-world data analysis in Python.

Python or Power BI?

Power BI is a good way to visually zoom in, compare and filter data. In this way, an analysis is also easy to share with other people. The big advantage of data analysis using Python is the speed. With a simple script you dig through a large mountain of data, make groupings and merge data.

Power BI is a point and click tool meant for common usage while Python and R are more coding oriented, heavy duty and customizable.

How hard is Python to learn?

Python is widely considered one of the easiest programming languages for a beginner to learn, but it is also difficult to master. Anyone can learn Python if they work hard enough at it, but becoming a Python Developer will require a lot of practice and patience.

 

What is Python Training?

Python is one of the most widely used programming languages for software development, data analysis, automation, artificial intelligence, and web applications. Python training helps learners build strong programming foundations and develop practical skills for solving real-world problems efficiently.

JBI’s Python training courses are designed for beginners through to experienced developers who want to strengthen their programming skills or apply Python in areas such as automation, data processing, AI development, and scripting. The courses combine core programming concepts with hands-on exercises using real-world examples.

Participants learn how to write clean, efficient Python code, work with libraries and frameworks, automate tasks, and build practical applications that can be used in professional environments.
