Why Learn Python Remotely
-
Free & Lightweight
Python download is free and small — no Adobe Cloud-sized installs needed.
-
Excel-Adjacent Power
Like Excel for data work, but scales to bigger datasets and more complex analysis.
-
Open-Source Community
Constantly updated by a global community — libraries cover almost every domain.
-
High Career Demand
Data analysis, AI/ML, web backend, scripting — Python skills transfer across many job titles.
There are very few technical skills in the world that can help almost anyone at any job, I can only think of one besides Python and that is Excel. If you do not feel comfortable in Excel, I highly recommend taking this 3-day online Excel Course before learning Python.
For those of you who are comfortable Excel users, Python is no doubt the next skill to learn to advance your career. Python is similar to Excel as it is mainly used for data analysis, visualization, and forecasting but is much more powerful and autonomous. Additionally, Python can process larger datasets faster as well as perform more complex complications. On top of that, Python’s abilities stem from it being open-source so it is constantly being updated by the large community of developers who use it daily.
Now that you understand the benefits and applications of Python – why is it the best skill to learn remotely, and why Noble?
The Software
Many programs such as the Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, and others are expensive to download as well as take up a lot of storage. However, Python is absolutely free to download and is a relatively small package, even the additional software used to write programs is free and it can all be downloaded at one time in under five minutes on a Mac or PC, click here to download.
Additionally, in our class at Noble Desktop, all of our class files are available for easy download online. Lastly, the integrated development environment we use is very intuitive and operates similarly to Google Drive which is ideal for an online class as students can share their code live.
The Noble Desktop Way
At Noble Desktop, we strive to create a high-quality active based curriculum that maximizes student’s input and minimizes lectures. Additionally, we focus on keeping our classes small and flexible by allowing students to master technical skills in their own time. Lastly, at Noble, we only employ the top instructors from around the world to lead our classes.
Our Python class, in particular, is broken down into three sections: five-minute introduction of the topic by the teacher followed by a twenty to thirty-minute for students to code on their own, following that the teacher goes over the student’s code. This active classroom style has proven itself both in-person and live online. This class is led by Robert Carrington, who has years of experience in the FinTech industry, where he worked on data analytics tools for banks and credit unions. Rob holds a B.A. in Mathematics from Wesleyan University and an M.Sc. In Mathematical Logic from the Universiteit van Amsterdam.
