GDD Training Taster Sessions

Introduction

This repository contains all notebooks and materials for each GDD Training Taster.

Each taster is run for our public courses. To access the material for the course you can go to the branch corresponding to the taster. Here is a breakdown of the branch names:

Branch Name	Taster Name	Description
pfda	Python for Data Analysts	Covers Python Essentials and Pandas with some visualisations to demonstrate the power of Python
dswp	Data Science with Python	An introduction to Machine Learning followed by a demo of using sci-kit learn on the penguins dataset
adwsp	Advanced Data Science with Python	An introduction to all topics covered in the ADWSP course followed by demo of feature engineering

Contributing

To add a new taster you can use the taster-template branch and add all the notebooks/files you need. Feel free to remove folders that aren't necessary.

Using Binder

Each course corresponds to a Binder link (redirected with rebrandley) for participants to use during the training.

To create a binder link for a taster, first create a requirements.txt file with all the packages needed for the taster. Then visit Binder, paste the URL of this repo and include the name of the branch when creating:
