Course Description
Review from similar course: "The course is really impressive. Tons of information, and I learned a great deal. I had no Python background, and now I feel a lot more confident about working with Python than ever. Thanks for the course." Austin "Honestly Mike your classes speak for themselves. They're informative, concise and just really well put together. They're exactly the kind of courses I look for." -Alex El

Many new to machine learning believe machine learning engineers spend their days building deepneural models in Keras or SciKit-Learn. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that isn-'t the case. A recent study from Kaggle determined that 80% of time data scientists and machine learning engineersspend their time cleaning data. The term used for cleaning data in data science circles is called data wrangling. In this course we are going to learn Pandas using a lab integrated approach. Programming is something you have to do inorder to master it. You can't read about Python and expect to learn it. Pandas is the single most important library for data wrangling in Python. Data wrangling is the process of programmatically transforming data into a format that makes it easier to work with.
This might mean modifying all of the values in a given column in a certain way, or merging multiple columns together. The necessity for data wrangling is often a byproduct of poorly collected or presented data. In the real world data is messy. Very rarely do you have nicely cleansed data sets to point your supervised models against. Keep in mind that 99% of all applied machine learning (real world machine learning) is supervised. That simply means models need really clean, nicely formatted data. Bad data in means bad model results out. **Five Reasons to Take this Course**
1) You Want to be a Machine Learning Engineer It's one of the most sought after careers in the world. The growth potential career wise is second to none. You want the freedom to move anywhere you'd like. You want to be compensated for your efforts. You want to be able to work remotely. The list of benefits goes on. Without a solid understanding of data wrangling in Python you'll have a hard time of securing a position as a machine learning engineer. 2) Most of Machine Learning is Data Wrangling If you're new to this space the one thing many won't tell you is that much of the job of the data scientist and the machine learning engineer is massaging dirty data into a state where it can be modeled. In the real world data is dirty and before you can build accurate machine learning models you have to clean it. This process is called data wrangling and without this skills set you'll never get a job as a machine learning engineer. This course will give you the fundamentals you need to cleanse your data. 3) The Growth of Data is Insane Ninety percent of all the world's data has been created in the last two years. Business around the world generate approximately 450 billion transactions a day. The amount of data collected by all organizations is approximately 2.5 exabytes a day. That number doubles every month. Almost all real world machine learning is supervised. That means you point your machine learning models at clean tabular data. Python has libraries that are specific to data cleansing. 4) Machine Learning in Plain English Machine learning is one of the hottest careers on the planet and understanding the basics is required to attaining a job as a data engineer. Google expects data engineers and their machine learning engineers to be able to build machine learning models. 5) You want to be ahead of the Curve The data engineer and machine learning engineer roles are fairly new. While you-'re learning, building your skills and becoming certified you are also the first to be part of this burgeoning field. You know that the first to be certified means the first to be hired and first to receive the top compensation package. Thanks for interest in Data Wrangling in Pandas for Machine Learning Engineers See you in the course!!Who this course is for:
- If you're interested in becoming a machine learning engineer then this course is for you.
- If you're interested in becoming a data engineer then this course is for you.
- If you're a professional in any discipline that needs to become adept at data wrangling then this course is for you.

Machine Learning Enthusiast I've worked with databases for over two decades. I've worked for or consulted with over 50 different companies as a full time employee or consultant. Fortune 500 as well as several small to mid-size companies. Some include: Georgia Pacific, SunTrust, Reed Construction Data, Building Systems Design, NetCertainty, The Home Shopping Network, SwingVote, Atlanta Gas and Light and Northrup Grumman. Over the last five years I've transitioned to the exciting world of applied machine learning. I'm excited to show you what I've learned and help you move into one of the single most important fields in this space. Experience, education and passion I learn something almost every day. I work with insanely smart people. I'm a voracious learner of all things SQL Server and I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned. My area of concentration is performance tuning. SQL Server is like an exotic sports car, it will run just fine in anyone's hands but put it in the hands of skilled tuner and it will perform like a race car. Certifications Certifications are like college degrees, they are a great starting points to begin learning. I'm a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA), Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT). Personal Born in Ohio, raised and educated in Pennsylvania, I currently reside in Atlanta with my wife and two children.
