Aberdeen Python User Group Oct 2021

A monthly meeting of the Aberdeen Python user community. A talk or two then a practical session of using Python in small teams.

Speaker: Arturo Regalado - "Automate the boring and focus on the exciting"

Details: In this chat, Arturo will share how he uses Python to automate the boring stuff that keeps him from focusing on the exciting part of business analytics: asking questions and finding answers. The tools: web scraping, web app building, and data wrangling. Finally, he will guide you through a short challenge that will involve cleaning and processing time series.
