What an excellent course. The Python portion gets you quickly up to speed on Python data structures, common libraries, and functions.
The ML portion gives two end to end examples of structuring, training, testing, and selecting ML models.
The pace of the course and level of detail given were great. The videos also had the right level of enthusiasm and inflection to keep you engaged and interested. There are opportunities to practice what you learn after almost every video.
I really want to thank the course creators for a job well done and I hope they create more courses. I highly recommend this training.
Great foundational course for Python. I had no previous experience in Python and this course equips beginners with practical and easy to learn fundamentals of the programming. I felt the instruction was clear and provided great applications for finance.
This course provides an excellent foundation for Python, focusing on essentials before applications. Zach Washam clearly defines the course purpose, aligning perfectly with my goals. The structured, multi-session format worked great with my busy schedule, and the pre-class preparation was well-communicated with a helpful video guide.
Zach’s articulate teaching and consistent use of precise terminology made learning seamless. He not only covered the basics thoroughly but also provided guidance for tailoring and advancing your Python experience. His detailed, example-driven responses to questions were particularly valuable.
The Introduction to Python course was a great start on the basics of Python. Zach was great at answering questions and taking the class along the journey to build a strong foundation of Python knowledge. This has me excited to continue learning more Python and applying it to my everyday work.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the course evolves in the future, and I'll be recommending this to my team members in FP&A. I'd love to see more examples added, especially depending on the format of the course (self-study vs. live).
I found this Python course incredibly useful and easy to follow. It covers the basics of Python programming and provides a solid foundation. The examples are clear, and while I haven't yet applied Python in my work, I’m excited to explore how it can be used in finance. I’m definitely looking forward to learning more and seeing how Python can enhance my work in the future.
