Recent Review:

The class was helpful in getting started with basic syntax and moved into some of the more relevant packages for working with data in python. The speed and exercises felt appropriate but may be a little too fast for someone with no prior experience with coding.

Recent Review:

This is not for the faint of heart. It goes deep into algorithms, data, metrics, comparisons, etc. One of the most valuable things I learned was to ask smart questions and to think in a data analysis machine learning kind of way. Raja was fantastic. And the support team patient and helpful. It’s very intensive 5 days with over 10 hours a day of work. You will definitely get your money’s worth ...

I was a somewhat non-traditional student at Byte in that I had a fairly extensive professional background in software development (PHP web applications & iOS) and I was looking to modernize & expand my skillset rather than learn development from scratch. The small class size, personal attention, and focus on student-designed projects meant that they were able to tailor my experience to my ...
