CMU Libraries Workshop: Automating Python Data Workflows and Visualizations

September 25, 2024

1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ET

Sorrells Library Den, Wean Fourth Floor

In the final part of the 3-part workshop series, “Introduction to Python for Data Science,” we offer an overview of Python techniques to automate iterative tasks with for loops, build reusable code via Python functions, and use Matplotlib to make customizable data visualizations and graphics. Finally, we will demonstrate how to access large databases stored in SQLite via Python and discuss the benefits of this approach. The content covered in this workshop will be a continuation of the content covered in part 1, “Python Basics and Starting with Data” and part 2, “Handling and Navigating Pandas Dataframes in Python.” We highly encourage attending both part 1 and 2 of the series before this workshop, especially for learners that are new to the Python programming language.
