Introduction
Python is one of the most popular programming language in the data science world. Understanding of Python is one of the valuable skills needed in data science career in the recent years.
Python has a lot of applications in analytics such as, data analysis, machine learning, web applications, data scraping, etc. On top of that, syntax of python makes it easy to read and work on.
In this post, instead of learning python by theory, we will cover python concepts by doing hands-on exercises.
We will use Jupyter notebook to understand python theory and practical part. So, what is Jupyter notebook and how to download & install it ?

Setup Jupyter Notebook
Till now, we have installed Jupyter notebook and downloaded the python modules.
Follow below steps to setup Jupyter Notebook for hands-on exercises:
- First, unzip the downloaded Python Modules and extract the contents.
- Secondly, open the downloaded python folder and go to navigation bar.
- Thirdly, enter “jupyter notebook” in the navigation bar.
- Fourthly, we will be able to see all the modules in the web browser.
- Lastly, open the “Reference material” folder and follow the PDF file for python tutorials.
Data Science Case Study
After completing all of the above Python Modules, let’s do an educational data science case study.
In just 20 minutes learn easy solution for Kaggle Titanic in Python. This article is written for beginners who want to start their journey into Data Science, assuming no previous knowledge of machine learning. Only prior knowledge of basic python is required.
