Congratulations to Wade, our very first student to complete the Nexacu Python for Data Analysis Certification!  Wade had no prior experience with Python but has now produced a very impressive final capstone project.

I’ve recently had to do some basic administrative tasks with Excel files. Using Python, I was able to quickly and easily complete tasks that could have otherwise been quite time-consuming and tedious. The examples below illustrate how Python can be used to improve these kinds of processes.

Python users who work in Jupyter computational notebooks have access to an extra collection of commands – known as magic commands. Magic commands are an enhancement of the interactive IPython kernel (used by Jupyter) and make performing common tasks easier than using Python code alone.

The data frame (or DataFrame) is an essential tool for anyone using R or Python to analyse data. They are rectangular or tabular data structures, that hold rows and columns of data, similar to tables in a database or an Excel spreadsheet.

The pandas groupby() is a versatile DataFrame method that enables to users to quickly and efficiently separate datasets into groups by a chosen variable. It can be used to report summary statistics for each group, loop over groups and to separate data into subsets.

We have recently been training a growing number of professionals in R and Python as they migrate from other code-based analytical packages such as MATLAB, Stata, SAS and SPSS. This post outlines some of the reasons for using code-based tools and why organisations are increasingly using Python and R for their data analysis needs.

Both R and Python have a huge range of functionality available for working with data. Investing a few weeks to learn to use a programming language will enable you achieve big productivity gains.
