Python for Data Science
From first print() to real data projects.
Learn Python from scratch through the lens of data science: fundamentals, data structures, and the NumPy/Pandas/Matplotlib toolkit. Then put it to work in two hands-on builds — a computer-vision app with OpenCV and MediaPipe, and a web scraper.
