Hi, I am a former software engineer at Amazon Alexa and I have created a short down-to-earth hands-on course to introduce you to the tools needed to do data science. You can watch the first 2 videos on Youtube (https://youtu.be/ehPkrAKVLII) or you can go directly to the course (https://skl.sh/2ZlDxnu) and access SkillShare premium for free for 2 months so no need to pay anything.

Below is the description of the course for your convenience. I really hope you find it useful and would love to know your feedback

--- Course Description The goal of this class is to provide you with a step by step guide on how to start doing data science and data analysis of real-life raw .csv files. Prerequisites: basic programming skills preferably in Python Concretely, you will learn: * best practices to properly setup Python for your project using Conda environments * how to install packages (Jupyter notebook & Pandas) * how to analyze a .csv file using Pandas DataFrames to extract useful insights for your business

--- Course Project In this class we will use a real-life Android Play Store data (.csv) for a given search query to extract useful insights and answer 3 questions: 1. How many apps are paid? 2. How much money are they making? 3. When were these apps released?
