Session 3: Python for Data Analytics.

Join Jesse Roberts of Amazon Web Services as he continues to provide information on the use of Python.  In Session 1, Jesse covered the benefits of using Python, how to set up an environment to begin using it and the basics of coding. Session 2 introduced using Python to work with data using NumPy, Pandas and how to connect to data sources. In this session, Jesse will build on top of Session 2 and finish covering typical data cleaning and reshaping tasks with Python including a walk-through of a real-world example of data analysis combining these techniques.
