Overview
The professional programmer's Deitel® video guide to Python development with the powerful IPython and Jupyter Notebooks platforms.
Description
Python Fundamentals LiveLessons with Paul Deitel is a code-oriented presentation of Python--one of the world's most popular and fastest growing languages. In the context of scores of real-world code examples ranging from individual snippets to complete scripts, Paul will demonstrate coding with the interactive IPython interpreter and Jupyter Notebooks. You'll quickly become familiar with the Python language, its popular programming idioms, key Python Standard Library modules and several popular open-source libraries. In the Intro to Data Science videos, Paul lays the groundwork for later lessons and introduces some of today's most compelling, leading-edge computing technologies, including natural language processing, data mining Twitter® for sentiment analysis, cognitive computing with IBM® Watson, supervised machine learning with classification and regression, unsupervised machine learning with clustering, computer vision through deep learning and convolutional neural networks, sentiment analysis through deep learning with recurrent neural networks, big data with Hadoop®, Spark streaming, NoSQL databases and the Internet of Things.

Customer Review
"Paul deserves a 6th star. His explanations are clear. He gives background and context to his content. I have 0 experience in ML, Python and I was able to follow this course without any issues. I am still far from being very knowledgeable on the topic but I can write code, understand what I am writing and interpret results. Thank you Paul! Keep them coming please. "
