Python for Data Science Masterclass

The class is an excellent way for someone who knows nothing about programming to gain foundational knowledge and confidence!

Brian was a fantastic instructor—his use of analogies and emphasis on mastering the fundamentals really helped deepen my understanding of Python. The bootcamp was fast-paced and engaging, perfect for those with a bit of prior experience. The week flew by, and I walked away with both new skills and a solid foundation to build on. Highly recommended!

I had an exceptional learning experience in this class. The instructor's expertise and patience were evident in every session, making complex concepts easy to understand. The materials provided were comprehensive and covered most of the essential topics thoroughly. The support during code execution was invaluable, helping me overcome any challenges I faced. Overall, this class has significantly boosted my confidence and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Python

Our instructor was very knowledgeable about the material. Seemed to know the content very well. It applied to what we do, and there was a lot that was new to me, so it opened the door to new possibilities, and I hope to apply much of what I learned in my day-to-day job

Overall, Brian McClain was an instructor who switched back and forth from high-level coding to basic debugging with real-world examples and experience. His examples and step-by-step instructions help me to stay engaged and redirected by pulling me back into the lesson.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained code logic with a real-world scenario, which made understanding the concept really easy. Very well defined for a beginner.

I've been programming and learning programming since 1978, and I have to say that this class was a breath of fresh air. It seriously opened my eyes to some new possibilities and answered some questions about Python that I have had for some time. What an outstanding instructor and what a great class!

If you are looking for a challenging and informative learning experience, this class is for you! I enjoyed my experience taking the course, and I would love to take other classes focused on Python if given the chance.

I just completed a week-long Python for Data Science Bootcamp, and it was truly one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about teaching. He made complex topics easy to grasp by breaking them into manageable parts and encouraged questions throughout. The hands-on exercises and mini-challenges were especially helpful in reinforcing each concept.

The instructor had great humor, was very friendly, and was good at explaining things. I had a great time in Colin's class!

Great structure and cumulative learning experience. Colin is one of the top instructors at Noble. Incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and supportive to students who are new to programming. He does a great job of connecting "coding speak" into a tangible, real-world example so that students who are less technically savvy can understand the material.

This class exceeded my expectations—engaging, practical, and incredibly well-taught. Even as a remote student, I felt fully connected and confident in what I was learning. Highly recommend!

The instructor had a good way of presenting the material to make it understandable. I learned Python, and the data science side of the class taught me a lot, too.

Python for DS taught by Brian is a good use of one's time. Brian is capable of explaining and clarifying things for students and is motivating and encouraging.

It's a lot of info but the instructor was very good!

Class content and materials were excellent. Brian is hands down one of the best instructors at Noble Desktop - a rare combo of both excellent technical expertise and the ability to communicate it in layman's terms. His expertise & teaching style made the course both enjoyable and effective. He explained complex concepts clearly and made the material accessible, even for those of us who were new to programming or data science. He encouraged questions & fostered a collaborative atmosphere that made the learning process enjoyable.

This course was well-structured, with clear, step-by-step explanations provided through interactive notebooks. Watching Mr. McClain code in real time and explain each concept made it easy to grasp even complex topics. What I appreciated most was the practical approach rather than just the theory. We worked on real coding examples. Mr. McClain was willing to clarify doubts and was very knowledgeable.

Great insight, expertise, and outstanding examples.

Awesome hands-on learning experience. I loved being able to follow along in Google Colab, make mistakes, and try to figure them out, but also having the ability to get help as needed. Even as an experienced programmer in other languages, I found this very helpful due to the subtle syntax differences with Python. Will definitely take another class in the future!

The course content was amazing and communicated clearly.

I really enjoyed the class, it's a very good intro-level Python class. I think the instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging, and I plan to take more in the future.

The overall experience was very good. I loved that we spent a lot of time on Python fundamental data structures such as lists, dictionaries, etc. We did a lot of exercises. It was very important to me to understand these concepts well rather than just jumping to pandas. Brian is a great instructor. He explains the fundamentals very thoroughly, not just stating the rules but explaining the logic and examples and giving interesting and funny analogies. I have tried several bootcamps, and I know how most of the bootcamp teachers skip the fundamentals and logic by just stating the rules and covering huge materials in a super speedy way. The amount of knowledge understood and retained in this way is so little. With Brian it is different, he tackles the basis thoroughly, and takes time to explain important concepts in various ways. So, he approaches the course from a pedagogical point of view rather than just covering material.

The class was fast-paced, but that's what you'd expect from a bootcamp. Overall, it was a lot of information, but it was really good information. I think the tools, "handouts," etc, that we took away from the course will really help set me up foundationally for some novice Python-ing. I would say 95% of this course was applicable to my role or my future job responsibilities. Brian's flexibility in taking our questions and curiosity to then turn them into a teaching moment was very helpful and made the content even more applicable. He really took the time to make sure we were able to build from one concept to another.

It was affordable and informative. The class content was very comprehensive and easy to understand and follow. The content was interesting as well and was a good introduction to Python. I will be returning for future courses.

Well worth the investment. Terrific introduction to Python.
