About

This series will teach Python, one of the most in-demand and popular programming languages. With Python you'll be able to do anything from web development to machine learning. At the end of the series, we'll build our own personal project, a live crypto-tracking web app, using Python, the Streamlit library, and the Binance API. No experience required.

If you are interested in joining, please download PyCharm (a free application which we'll use to create the final project) and create an account on repl.it (also free). We will also cover this during the orientation but if you want to get ahead I would suggest doing both before we begin.

SESSION 7

Computer Science

Tue 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM UTCJul 19, 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM UTC

We will begin creating our final project. We will learn how we can get the prices of different cryptocurrencies from the web and then use them in our project. At the end of this session, we'll have a basic web app that displays the prices of different cryptocurrencies.

SESSION 8

Computer Science

Wed 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM UTCJul 20, 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM UTC

We will create the final project. We will figure out how to create a website, grab information about cryptocurrencies, and then display their prices. Afterwards, we will learn how we can grab market data from the web, convert it into a Pandas DataFrame, and then create a candlestick chart using plotly. By the end of this session we will hopefully finish the project.
