I’m pleased to say that via our ModelInsight we’ll be running two Python-focused training courses in October. The goal is to give you new strong research & development skills, they’re aimed at folks in companies but would suit folks in academia too. UPDATE training courses ready to buy (1 Day Data Science, 2 Day High Performance).
UPDATE we have a <5min anonymous survey which helps us learn your needs for Data Science training in London, please click through and answer the few questions so we know what training you need.
“Highly recommended – I attended in Aalborg in May “@ianozsvald:… upcoming Python DataSci/HighPerf training courses”” @ThomasArildsen
These and future courses will be announced on our London Python Data Science Training mailing list, sign-up for occasional announces about our upcoming courses (no spam, just occasional updates, you can unsubscribe at any time).
Intro to Data science with Python (1 day) on Friday 24th October
Students: Basic to Intermediate Pythonistas (you can already write scripts and you have some basic matrix experience)
Goal: Solve a complete data science problem (building a working and deployable recommendation engine) by working through the entire process – using numpy and pandas, applying test driven development, visualising the problem, deploying a tiny web application that serves the results (great for when you’re back with your team!)
- Learn basic numpy, pandas and data cleaning
- Be confident with Test Driven Development and debugging strategies
- Create a recommender system and understand its strengths and limitations
- Use a Flask API to serve results
- Learn Anaconda and conda environments
- Take home a working recommender system that you can confidently customise to your data
- £300 including lunch, central London (24th October)
- Additional announces will come via our London Python Data Science Training mailing list

High Performance Python (2 day) on Thursday+Friday 30th+31st October
Students: Intermediate Pythonistas (you need higher performance for your Python code)
Goal: learn high performance techniques for performant computing, a mix of background theory and lots of hands-on pragmatic exercises
- Profiling (CPU, RAM) to understand bottlenecks
- Compilers and JITs (Cython, Numba, Pythran, PyPy) to pragmatically run code faster
- Learn r&d and engineering approaches to efficient development
- Multicore and clusters (multiprocessing, IPython parallel) for scaling
- Debugging strategies, numpy techniques, lowering memory usage, storage engines
- Learn Anaconda and conda environments
- Take home years of hard-won experience so you can develop performant Python code
- Cost: £600 including lunch, central London (30th & 31st October)
- Additional announces will come via our London Python Data Science Training mailing list
- Buy your ticket here
The High Performance course is built off of many years teaching and talking at conferences (including PyDataLondon 2013, PyCon 2013, EuroSciPy 2012) and in companies along with my High Performance Python book (O’Reilly). The data science course is built off of techniques we’ve used over the last few years to help clients solve data science problems. Both courses are very pragmatic, hands-on and will leave you with new skills that have been battle-tested by us (we use these approaches to quickly deliver correct and valuable data science solutions for our clients via ModelInsight). At PyCon 2012 my students rated me 4.64/5.0 for overall happiness with my High Performance teaching.
“@ianozsvald [..] Best tutorial of the 4 I attended was yours. Thanks for your time and preparation!” @cgoering
We’d also like to know which other courses you’d like to learn, we can partner with trainers as needed to deliver new courses in London. We’re focused around Python, data science, high performance and pragmatic engineering. Drop me an email (via ModelInsight) and let me know if we can help.
Do please join our London Python Data Science Training mailing list to be kept informed about upcoming training courses.
