This comprehensive masterclass combines foundational and advanced concepts in Python, tailored specifically for data science enthusiasts. Students will gain a robust understanding of Python fundamentals, including data types, variables, control flow, and functions. As the course progresses, they will explore complex data structures and master the use of packages and object-oriented programming.
The masterclass covers essential libraries such as Numpy and Pandas, empowering students to manipulate arrays and dataframes effectively. Students will learn to perform data analysis, clean and filter datasets, and utilize groupby operations and pivot tables for insightful data exploration.
Visualization techniques are a key focus, with extensive training in Matplotlib for creating bar charts, scatter plots, histograms, and customized visualizations. Advanced topics include the use of Seaborn for regression analysis and creating heatmaps and confusion matrices.
Participants will enhance their Python skills with advanced programming techniques such as lambda functions, list comprehension, and handling JSON and APIs. They will also delve into practical applications like web scraping with Beautiful Soup, database querying within Jupyter Notebooks, and animating data for dynamic presentations.
By the end of the masterclass, students will be equipped with the skills to tackle complex data science projects, from initial data analysis to advanced visualization and automation.

From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
I always have fears to do coding. My friend recommended this "Python Immersive" one-week camp. The instructor, Thalo, is great at explaining the concepts. Especially, he is very patient and helpful. I strongly recommend this camp to those who want to learn Python coding from A to Z.
I took the intro to python and python immersive online class. I had a great instructor named Thalo. His teaching methods are really effective, and right to the point. He was extremely helpful with any questions or topics that you may have a hard time understanding. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning python, whether as a beginner or an experienced coder.
I took this class online with Thalo. He is an excellent teacher and very patient and thorough. I learned more than I could have hoped and also saw a great example of what online teaching can be Highly recommend.
I can't say enough about my experience with the Practical Programming instructors as well as the core curriculum in the Python Immersive & Python Programming for Data Science. These courses have been life changing to my current career and will be beneficial to any career I may have in the future. Thalo has been my instructor for both cohorts. Not only is he exceptionally knowledgeable but he is incredibly patient when going through the material-it's not easy but he makes it palatable, dare I say fun. Thalo truly takes the time to work with you, even taking you through pseudocode if need be for the material to sink in. I highly recommend Practical Programming courses to anyone that works with data or looking for a career change. These cohorts will get you to where you need to be.
I did the week-long Python for Data Science Immersive Bootcamp in Chicago. The course is structured as a small-group lab, so it's easy to stay engaged and you get a lot of hands-on experience coding. The instructor, Thalo, was an exceptional teacher and was very adaptive to the class. We got to spend time working on problems relevant for our jobs. Highly recommend!

This class was great. The right blend of teaching and practicing what we learn. Thalo was a great instructor that balanced giving us the knowledge and letting us think our way through the problems. Also, he was there to rescue us when we got in over our head.
Great learning experience! Thalo Menninga was excellent and very hands-on and very knowledgeable. The approach of teaching was very nice and the course content was also designed very professional. Class size is also smaller and that makes more focused learning. Every day, I enjoyed learning new things and especially daily recap in the morning. If you want to learn Python I'd highly recommend this course and instructor!
Good course for beginners. They keep the class sizes small, which was convenient because the instructor was able to tweak the class to fit more of what I was hoping to get out of it. The location is great with endless food options for lunch and there’s tons of water in the room for when the students get thirsty.
Excellent for those who want to get into Python quickly.
It is a good way to start learn Python and build your career.
Great learning experience! My instructor Thalo Menninga was really fantastic and helped me learn at my own pace without directly providing the answers or solutions to the problems in class. Very hands-on approach as I would be asked to write a few programs in Python based on what new concept we learned in the classroom. Every day would start as a review of all previous concepts along with programming assignments for the review. Thalo is very knowledgeable in Python and in other languages. Thalo even helped provide instruction on some code used in my employer! If you want to learn Python I'd highly recommend this course and instructor!
Great learning experience for Python beginners. Recommend having minimal base knowledge of coding before signing up for class, but you learn a tremendous amount of material and gain a lot of experience in a short amount of time!
Thalo and Art were great instructors for the Python for Data Science course - they answered all my questions and gave me a ton of information I can use in the workplace.

I didn't expect to learn much in a 4 session Python course, but Art's teaching style was very fitting for me. As the Chinese proverb states: Tell me, I'll forget. Show me, I'll remember. Involve me, I'll understand.
