Python for Data Engineering Project (edX)

Offered by IBM,
Python for Data Engineering Project (edX)

An opportunity to apply your foundational Python skills via a project, using various techniques to collect and work with data. Journey into the realm of becoming a Data Engineer and apply your basic Python knowledge of working with data. You will exercise various techniques in Python to extract data in multiple file formats from different sources, transform it into specific datatypes, and then prepare it for loading it into a database.
