Begin Python Programming in 7 Days

We get you started setting up your environment and the tools you need to start programming in Python. You will be learning about variables and operators and how to make use of them in Python programs. You will learn all about control flow statements and loops in Python and you will be using them in your programs to solve your coding problems.

Then you will learn to use Python's advanced data structures such as lists and dictionaries. You will be able to organize in functions and save time coding by writing code that can be reused. Then, you will learn about Python modules and how to make use of them. On the last day, you will start interacting with files using Python code.

The course will give you a strong entry point into programming in general and programming in Python in particular.

This course uses Python 3.6, and TensorFlow 1.4, while not the latest version available, it provides relevant and informative content for legacy users of Python, and TensorFlow.

It also has a suite of email automation tools to  schedule, send, and track email performance—key analytics that all feed  back into how our AI generates content.

Prior to founding QuantCopy, Rudy ran HighDimension.IO, a machine  learning consultancy, where he experienced first-hand the frustrations  of outbound sales and prospecting. As a founding partner, he helped  startups and enterprises with High Dimension, IO's  Machine-Learning-as-a-Service, allowing them to scale up data expertise  in the blink of an eye.

In the first part of his career, Rudy spent 5+ years in quantitative  trading at leading investment banks such as Morgan Stanley. This  valuable experience allowed him to witness the power of data, but also  the pitfalls of automation using data science and machine learning.  Quantitative trading was also a great platform to learn deeply about  reinforcement learning and supervised learning topics in a commercial  setting.

Rudy holds a Computer Science degree from Imperial College London, where  he was part of the Dean's List, and received awards such as the  Deutsche Bank Artificial Intelligence prize.
