Getting Started with Google Colab Using TensorFlow (Manning Publications)

In this liveProject, you’ll get hands-on experience using the powerful Google Colab tool for machine learning and deep learning. Colab notebooks let you execute your data science code in Google’s cloud, getting all the benefits of Google’s incredible hardware. You’ll see how Colab works for yourself by running through simple machine learning tasks such as data preprocessing, making use of Colab’s free GPU and TPU hardware acceleration capabilities, and combining Colab with scikit-learn and TensorFlow to train a classifier.

This liveProject is for intermediate Python programmers who know the basics of data science and machine learning. To complete the second milestone of this liveProject, you will work with TensorFlow. To begin this liveProject you will need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS

  • Intermediate Python
  • Basics of Jupyter Notebook
  • Basics of Google Colab
  • Basics of TensorFlow

Global Warming II: Create Your Own Models in Python (Coursera)

This class provides a series of Python programming exercises intended to explore the use of numerical modeling in the Earth system and climate sciences. The scientific background for these models is presented in a companion class, Global Warming I: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change. This class assumes that you are new to Python programming (and this is indeed a great way to learn Python!), but that you will be able to pick up an elementary knowledge of Python syntax from another class or from on-line tutorials.

Visualization for Data Journalism (Coursera)

While telling stories with data has been part of the news practice since its earliest days, it is in the midst of a renaissance. Graphics desks which used to be deemed as “the art department,” a subfield outside the work of newsrooms, are becoming a core part of newsrooms’ operation. Those people (they often have various titles: data journalists, news artists, graphic reporters, developers, etc.) who design news graphics are expected to be full-fledged journalists and work closely with reporters and editors.
