The course will guide you to setup a development environment using VS Code together with Gitlab and creating a personal Git repository for the course. Afterwards, it will provide Python programming concepts, covering variables, functions, loops, lists, dictionaries, among others. During the process we will show you tools to help you keep the code clean and to enforce proper Python syntax and styling. Later, we will cover the basics of file handling in Python, gaining the ability to read/write files and to manipulate data. Finally, we will visualize data by using the packages matplotlib and seaborn by using practical examples.
