Python Data Science Toolbox, my review

Hello everyone! Currenly I learn more about how use python to analyze data. So, I catch some Datacamp's courses. One of the last taken was "Python Data Science Toolbox - Par 1", to learn the art of writing functions and some key concepts like scoping and error handling in Python.

Contain three parts :

  • Writing your own functions.
  • Default arguments-Scope.
  • Lambda functions and handle errors.

The course it's good if you know the basics of python and want to improve your skills for become a Data Science or Data Engineer.

  • Writing your own functions: Actually, we listen about Pandas, Numpy and Matplotlib libraries ,more common using in data analytics. But, like a developer, you need to write your own functions to solve problems in your data.

  • Default arguments-Scope: this part is important for build custom functions, when you need multiple parameters and multiple return values.

  • Lambda functions and handle errors: "Lambda" it's a buzzword, in this part your can learn step by step how build one and handle errors in your own function with a lot of samples.

Each part help you to write fantastic functions to analyze dataframes, and you'll have super powers to practice in the real world with big projects.
