Python for Data Science Masterclass

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

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.

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.

My overall experience was a 10+. As a rusty data scientist, I am absolutely amazed at how fast this course refreshed my knowledge and gave me a deeper understanding of the concepts! I am very happy to have enrolled in this course!

If you want a place to get a great introduction to data analytics and computer programming, I would highly recommend the Noble Desktop program. These professors care about your success.

Noble Desktop (where I took the Python for Data Science Bootcamp) provides very well-planned classes with easy-to-access content to make the experience more interactive. It's a no-brainer to sign on with them.

I really enjoyed learning under Art. He has a nice style of using repetition, dialogue, and class participation. During the class, I never felt embarrassed to ask a question or say I did not understand something.

This course provided a strong foundation in using Python for Data Science, which has enabled me to create my own tools to consolidate and track artist data, finding anomalies and growth trends early. Building upon my experience in Radio, A&R analytics and E-commerce I look forward to continuing to optimize methods of discovery and artist development. I’m genuinely excited to keep building on this momentum as there’s so much potential in using data to tell meaningful stories, especially in industries like music and entertainment.

The overall experience was great. The class content was new and refreshing. It was a great refresher with Python, and I look forward to more classes with Brian as my instructor. He possesses deep knowledge of many different topics. I've rarely ever seen anyone so dedicated.

Brian is an awesome instructor. He made the material easy to understand for a person who has zero experience with programming. The class was exactly what I was looking for.

I think anyone with an interest in learning Python as a new skill would benefit from Noble Desktop's bootcamps, especially with the option to retake them. I feel very positive about what I've learned and look forward to continue developing my skills in the field.

This was exactly what I was looking for. I have already done some programming in Python but wanted hands-on on practice covering the basics to lay a better foundation. I got this and more.

This class makes Python very simple. Art answers all your questions and helps in every way. Highly recommended!

Brian made this class very interesting and enjoyable. I really appreciate him putting in extra time to help my coworkers and myself with questions that we had.

Python is a 'must' language to learn. This class gave me a good start to go back and work on my modernization project where I will be using Python.

It's my first time attending a bootcamp and I really enjoyed it. Having learned Python by myself, I was not sure if I'd learn new things in this bootcamp. Still, I was pleasantly surprised that I learned quite a lot, from small but fundamental concepts (importance of returning values, structure of Pandas, etc.) to more elaborate ones (structure of functions and loops, lambda functions, etc.). It helped me consolidate the basics, fill in the gaps in my overall understanding of Python, and make me more confident in using it. Moreover, Brian is a great instructor, conveying all these concepts in an interesting and easily understandable way!
