How to Leverage the Power of Python for Processing Big Data

The Python programming language is easy to learn and offers powerful features for working with large data sets that can greatly improve engineer and programmer productivity. If you’re used to working with Excel, learn how to get the most out of Python’s higher level data structures to enable super efficient data manipulation and analysis. Whether you’re working with large sets of financial data or scientific data, find out how you can use Python for rapid development to retrieve, convert, process and analyze large data sets. And you don’t even have to give up your Excel spreadsheets. Then, when it comes to processing large sets of data, discover options for faster data handling, including taking it to the cloud.

In this webinar, hear from Dr. Mike Müller, President of Python Academy, and Diane Mueller, Director of Enterprise Product Management at ActiveState, and learn about:

  • Processing and analyzing large sets of data using NumPy & SciPy
  • Using Python modules to read and write Excel files
  • Getting faster results by storing in the cloud
