Data Analyst to Data Scientist: Learn Python with an Excel Mindset

Description:

As data nerds, our first interactions with programming concepts usually starts out in Excel. Sometimes we don't even realize we are so close to general programming theory when working in Excel since it is such a feature-rich product. In this session, we will explore the foundations of programming in Python while drawing parallels and demonstrating similarities between a traditional Analyst Excel workflow.

Speaker:
Chris Huie (https://www.linkedin.com/in/phoenixtechnerd/) is the Galvanize Phoenix evangelist. You can usually find him around town at local meetups or working the overnight shift at hackathons. When he isn't supporting the Phoenix dev and data science communities you can usually find him chilling with his English Bulldog writing Python or JavaScript.
