Creating a basic GUI using python

Assemble a CHIP to create a full-fledged computer

Get up to speed with simple Linux commands

Write a simple Python program to blink a LED

Create a simple GUI using Python programming to control a LED

Create an ATM greeting machine

Requirements

• Students will need basic knowledge of programming

Description

This is an introductory course to CHIP which is a 9$ computer. This course is great for those who are interested in either learning physical computing or want to use the chip as a full-fledged computer. This course only assumes that you have basic knowledge of programming and does not require you to know Linux commands or Python programming. However, a knowledge of the mentioned would greatly speed up your learning process.

If you do not know Linux or Python, no need to worry. The course has sections that cover the basics of Linux to get you started.

The chip is a 9$ device which will act as the CPU to which we will need to connect basic peripherals like a keyboard,mouse and a monitor to make it work as a full-fledged computer. The course will teach you to set up the CHIP and make it work as a low cost computer. You will also learn to work with hardware in combination with the GPIO pins of the CHIP.

You will be learning from 3 projects. The first project will be your first step in physical computing and you will learn about GPIO pins and how to use them. 

The second project will teach you to create a very simple and basic GUI with which you can control hardware and thus works as a virtual remote. Pretty cool right?

The third project is an ATM greeting machine which works with sensors to greet a person entering and exiting an ATM vestibule.

The course provides error-free source code for the above mentioned projects.

The entire course course can be completed over a period of 3 hours assuming that you have all the hardware necessary. Do not worry if it takes you longer since the longer it takes, the more you will be learning and more the fun.

By the end of the course, You will learn how to setup the CHIP, install and update the various packages needed for the projects. You will also learn basic Linux commands and the python code to make some really cool projects.

Who this course is for:

• This is an introductory course meant for those who are interested in exploring the CHIP. While a knowledge of Linux operating system and Python programming language will be helpful, it is not required to follow this course. The basics of Linux will be taught as a part of this course.

python programming

Requirements

• anaconda

Description

we learn lots of dataset how to predict values using different machine learning algorithm. problem-solving oriented subject that learns to apply scientific techniques to practical problems. The course orients on practical classes and self-study during preparation of datasets and programming of data analysis tasks. This course takes you through all the important modules that you need to know about, including machine learning and programming languages.

Who this course is for:

• Beginners Python developer

Course content

Learners will combine input and process to build an appropriate output.

Learners will analyze a problem and figure an appropriate solution, written in python.

Identify components of a problem to break it down into what inputs are needed and how to process them accordingly.

Write a simple process to read input and process an acceptable output.

Requirements

• No programming experience needed, you will learner everything you need to know.
• Basic math understand

Description

This course is an introduction to python at a basic level. This is geared toward the users who are overwhelmed with other python courses trying to cover too much material without first having a solid grasp of core concepts. This course covers basic input, output, and processes. Give you lots of examples and pushes you to complete the project to fully grasp the topics.

Examples for input include how to capture input from users, how to define data types of user input, and how to assign variables. For the output portion, we will be covering basic output such as print commands, but also the formatting print commands to make the output more meaningful. We will cover the basic processes using common math functions. We will put all of it together with several projects to ensure understanding. We also cover two additional areas conditional statements such as if-statements and error handling through try-except blocks. I keep things really simple so that learners who may feel overwhelmed can take this course and get the basics done without being overwhelmed.

The big takeaway from this course is taking a learner who has very no experience and taking them from knowing nothing and taking them to understand basics inputs, processes, and outputs. Each learner will have several projects that re-enforce your understanding of core concepts.

Keep in mind this is a free course, and I am limited by Udemy guidelines.

Recent Review from Similar Course:

“This was one of the most useful classes I have taken in a long time. Very specific, real-world examples. It covered several instances of ‘what is happening’, ‘what it means’ and ‘how you fix it’. I was impressed.”  Steve

Welcome to The Top 5 Machine Learning Libraries in Python.  This is an introductory course on the process of building supervised machine learning models and then using libraries in a computer programming language called Python.

What’s the top career in the world? Doctor? Lawyer? Teacher? Nope. None of those.

The top career in the world is the data scientist. Great. What’s a data scientist?

The area of study which involves extracting knowledge from data is called Data Science and people practicing in this field are called as Data Scientists.

Business generate a huge amount of data.  The data has tremendous value but there so much of it where do you begin to look for value that is actionable? That’s where the data scientist comes in.  The job of the data scientist is to create predictive models that can find hidden patterns in data that will give the business a competitive advantage in their space.

Don’t I need a PhD?  Nope. Some data scientists do have PhDs but it’s not a requirement.  A similar career to that of the data scientist is the machine learning engineer.

A machine learning engineer is a person who builds predictive models, scores them and then puts them into production so that others in the company can consume or use their model.  They are usually skilled programmers that have a solid background in data mining or other data related professions and they have learned predictive modeling.

In the course we are going to take a look at what machine learning engineers do. We are going to learn about the process of building supervised predictive models and build several using the most widely used programming language for machine learning. Python. There are literally hundreds of libraries we can import into Python that are machine learning related.

A library is simply a group of code that lives outside the core language. We “import it” into our work space when we need to use its functionality. We can mix and match these libraries like Lego blocks.

Thanks for your interest in the The Top 5 Machine Learning Libraries in Python and we will see you in the course.
