Daily Deal: Using Python For Data Analysis And More...

from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept

If you haven't heard of Python as an incredibly useful programming language, then go ahead and ignore the rest of this. However, if you're interested in learning a bit more about Python, and you want to skip the tedious task of looking up how-to videos on your own -- check out our $29 deal for a Python programming course bundle. This deal includes six courses for Python, introducing Python to beginners and covering data visualization with Python and Matplotlib. One of the courses also walks you through how to create a Flappy Bird game clone (but obviously not how to create a viral hit game).

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Can you recommend some absolute beginners books on programing?
    And what would you recommend for Java?

      Not to use Java. If you're interested in a high-level, strongly-typed OOP language, go with C#.

      Personally, I love Python. It's a great language for beginners, and well suited for everything from simple scripting to heavy data processing. Only drawback is mediocre GUI tooling. For GUI applications I use C# for frontend coding and have all the logic in Python.

    Python 2 Or Python 3?

    I can’t find any details on what version of Python is being used.

    I ask because there is still an awful lot of promotion of obsolete versions of Python around.
