## Learning Objectives

After attending this training, participants will be able to:

- Navigate the JupyterLab interface and run Python cells within a notebook.
- Assign values to variables, identify data types, and display values in a Jupyter Notebook.
- Create and manipulate lists in Python, including indexing, slicing, appending, and removing items to manage data collections effectively.
- Call built-in Python functions, and use the help function to understand their usage and troubleshoot errors.
- Use Python libraries like Pandas to import modules, load tabular data from CSV files, and perform basic data analysis.
- Apply 'for' loops to iterate over collections, using the accumulator pattern to aggregate values and trace variable states to predict loop outcomes.
- Manipulate pandas DataFrames to select data, calculate summary statistics, sort data, and save results in various formats, demonstrating basic data handling and analysis proficiency.
- Write Python programs using conditional logic with 'if', 'elif', and 'else' statements, including Boolean expressions and compound conditions within loops.
- Construct Python functions that encapsulate tasks, manage parameters, local, and global variables, and return values to enhance code modularity and readability.
- Transform complex datasets into a tidy format using pandas functions like 'melt()' for reshaping, 'groupby()' for aggregation, and 'to_datetime()' for date handling. Address practical challenges and demonstrate the benefits of tidy data for analysis.
- Create and customize data visualizations using Pandas and Plotly, generating various plot types (line, area, bar, histogram) to analyze trends and draw insights from time-series data.
- Prepare for advanced Python topics such as web scraping and APIs.
