Python Foundations (OpenClass)

This course aims to introduce beginners to programming in Python, starting at square zero. By the end of this course, learners should *not* expect to be programming wizards; rather, they should expect to have a solid foundational understanding of how Python works to pursue further knowledge in more specific areas of programming, such as natural language processing, web development, or general programming.

Applied Text Mining in Python (Coursera)

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling).
