What you'll learn

Write Python you can come back to

Use functions, comprehensions, and modules to keep a script readable after you have forgotten how it works.

Choose the right data structure

Know when a list, a dict, a set, or a generator is the right shape for the job.

Work with files and APIs

Read and write CSV and JSON, call an HTTP service, and handle the failures both of those bring.

Answer a question with pandas

Load a dataset, filter and group it, and produce a chart that supports a conclusion.
