Python for data science

Note this repo is a work in progress

Jupyter notebooks covering Python & it's application to data science

To run code:

1. Install VSCode and the VSCode Python plugin (which includes Jupyter notebooks)

2. Clone the repo with GitHub CLI:

gh repo clone CormacKinsella/python-data-science

3. Set up the Conda environment for software dependencies. Get conda here. To create and activate the environment:

conda env create -f python-data-science.yml
conda activate python-data-science

4. Open any of the notebooks within VSCode, and explore code interactively!
