The first DataCamp Everyone Can Learn Python Scholarship Award Program is now open for entries. The problem below tests the Python and SQL skills that you gained from the Introduction to Python and Introduction to SQL, and pairs them with your existing problem-solving and creative thinking skills.
Python is one of the fastest-growing programming languages in the world. Its readability, easy-to-follow system, and pre-programmed syntax have made it a programmer and data science favorite, and it’s opened up great career opportunities for thousands of people worldwide. It’s an excellent way to dip your toe into learning programming languages or add another skill to your existing repertoire.
Python’s simple and intuitive syntax makes it easy to learn, even for beginners with no prior coding experience. As a result, you’ll be able to master it much faster than other programming languages and be well on your way to a potential career in data science, digital marketing, machine learning, or data analysis.
They recommend that you take 2 introductory courses before you get started with your entry, but you may also want to check out some projects to practice your Python skills before you get started.
