Course OVERVIEW
Description
CPE Credits: 1.5
Field of Study: Information Technology
Delivery Method: QAS Self Study
Delivery Method: QAS Self Study
This course is short yet intense. We assume you’re no stranger to Jupyter and Python fundamentals, such as conditionals, functions, sequences, and iterations. Nevertheless, a lack of experience working with text data, list comprehensions, and anonymous (Lambda) functions would immediately reveal to your data science colleagues that coding in Python hasn’t become second nature. In the following sections, we explain these intermediate programming tools in detail and provide an extensive set of exercises to ensure your ability to comply with today’s best practices in the field.
Prerequisites
- Python (any recent version, such as Python 3.8 or later) and a code editor or IDE (e.g., Spyder, VS Code, or Jupyter Notebook)
- Completion of an introductory Python course is recommended.

- 2. Working with Text Data in Python41 MinWhether you use Python for general programming or analytics, you’ll not only manage quantitative data; you’ll also need to clean and preprocess vast amounts of text data. This section covers various tools—such as argument specifiers and string accessors—to help you manipulate text data. We’ll also work with widely-applicable Python string methods, such as .split(), .strip(), and .format().Dealing with Text Data and Argument Specifiers FreeCoding exercise FreeWorking with Python Strings at the Next Level FreeCoding exercise FreeExploring Python String Methods - Part I FreeCoding exercise FreeExploring Python String Methods - Part II FreeCoding exercise FreeLearning How to Use String Accessors FreeCoding exercise FreeWorking with the .format() Method FreeCoding exercise Free
