This is a collection of Jupyter notebooks that is intended to provide an introduction to the Python programming language. Although this collection is aimed to the beginner data science student, I found it very useful for any beginner in python programming. All notebooks were developed and released byIBM Cognitive Class, with some minors changes, organization and customizations provided by me.

The notebooks are divided by the following topics.I also provided the estimated time required to complete each lesson, a link to the source code, and the Google Colab link where anyone can use to follow the lessons and run the examples.

This section covers the python basics: print, import, types, expressions and strings.

This section covers the main Python data structures.

This section covers the fundamentals of Python language, logic and control structures, functions, and object-oriented programming in Python.

This section covers the basics of File handling in Python.

This section covers an introduction topandas, an open source library that provides high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language.

This section covers an introduction toNumPy, the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

NumPy makes it easier to do many operations that are commonly performed in data science. The same operations are usually computationally faster and require less memory in NumPy compared to regular Python.
