Learn Python the easy way : From Excel to Python
We generally start our analytics journey using tools like Excel and Google Sheets. Excel and Google Sheets make it easy to get some quick insights by sorting, filtering and pivoting the data to create a summarized view. We can also create beautiful charts using the data.
As the volume of the data increases, we start facing some challenges in handling data in Excel/ Google Sheets. Also, when we have to analyze multiple excel/ csv files or join a few sheets, we start looking for better options like python/ R. We understand what needs to be done due to our experience in analyzing data in Excel, but we struggle with our analysis due to challenges in handling large volumes and joining multiple files.
To overcome these challenges for people with some experience in analytics using Excel/ Google Sheets, I have added a few videos on my YouTube channel LearnToPlayWithData (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChAOvvDYCu7zHcQq4O3Ov3Q) to learn Python.
In the “Start with Python” playlist, I have covered a few very basic topics to get familiar with Python
In the next playlist “Python Basics of data analysis”, I have covered a few topics to understand basics of analysis using Python
In the next playlist “Python Essentials for data analysis”, I have covered a few useful topics like adding a new column, handling dates and merge/ joins using Python along with a case study.
In the next playlist “Python Visualization”, I have added a few videos on data visualization using Python.
I have covered codes from my blogs on medium as well in a few of these videos. You can also get the Jupyter notebooks on Github https://github.com/jyoti05iitd/PythonVideos
I will keep adding more videos on Python on my channel. Please subscribe my channel and like the videos if you find it useful. Also, share the link of my channel to your friends/ colleagues and family members who aspire to learn Python.
