In this comprehensive course, Python Programming for Data Science: From Basics to File Handling, learners will be introduced to the world of Python programming, essential for anyone wanting to pursue a career in data science. Starting with the basics, this course covers essential Python concepts such as arithmetic operations, data types, and type casting. You will explore strings in-depth, learning slicing, formatting, and handling techniques, as well as understanding variables, lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries, all of which are foundational to data science programming.

Moving on to control flow, the course delves into conditional statements (if-else), while loops, and for loops, teaching you how to handle repetitive tasks efficiently. You will also learn how to write and use functions to make your code modular and reusable. Understanding the importance of working with date and time in data science, this course also covers how to use Python’s libraries for these tasks.

The course then takes you into the practical world of file handling—teaching you how to read from and write to files. This skill is vital in data science for data storage and management, as it allows you to work with real-world datasets and manipulate them effectively.

Along the way, you'll also be introduced to machine learning concepts, a key aspect of data science, and learn how to set up your development environment using tools like Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook. This course is the perfect introduction to Python for aspiring data scientists and anyone interested in learning programming for data manipulation, analysis, and machine learning.
