Dr Alvin was able to explain the logics behind the python codes in layman's term (+ humour) for programing nerds like me. At the end of the 3 days course, i was able to grasp simple concepts to read and understand basic python codes. Most importantly, he shared useful resources we could refer to should we be doing this ourselves. I would hope more use cases can be used for practice (from import to data visualisation) so we can be more confident to apply it in future.1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2.
