Course Overview
Most data science projects that use Python will require you to access and integrate different types of data from a variety of external sources. This course will give you experience identifying and integrating data from spreadsheets, text files, websites, and databases. To prepare for downstream analyses, you first need to integrate any external data sources into your Python program. You will utilize existing packages and develop your own code to read data from a variety of sources. You will also practice using Python to prepare disorganized, unstructured, or unwieldy datasets for analysis by other stakeholders.
