Doing Data Science with Python 2
Beginner 6.4 hours English
Our recommendation
A Pluralsight course walking through a complete data-science project lifecycle — setting up a working environment (Anaconda, Jupyter, Git), extracting data from databases, APIs and web scraping, then exploring and processing it. Practical and end-to-end, good for people who want to see the whole workflow in Python.

About this course
This course walks through a complete data science project lifecycle: setting up a working environment (Anaconda, Jupyter, Git), extracting data from databases/APIs/web scraping, exploring and processing data (statistics, missing values, outliers, feature engineering), and building, evaluating, and deploying predictive models — closing with model persistence and exposing the trained model as a Flask API endpoint.
