Go for ML Infrastructure Engineering

"Python will (and should) remain the most popular language for data science and machine learning engineering. However, when it comes to machine learning infrastructure, we’re happy with Go."

I definitely want to learn more...

Review: Pyodide (Python in the Browser)

Although I'm not experienced in Python (at this point), I continue to keep watch on the advances the Python community is making. Like staff data engineer Mike Droettboom says, "a standard Python interpreter that runs entirely in the browser" will dramatically improve the game of data computation on the web.

Jupyter Notebooks - what is it?

I stumbled upon this article and became very curious as to what a Jupyter notebook is.

Online Tutorials

Seems pretty cool for people interested in Data Science and crunching data especially using Python (or iPython). So, I decided to watch some YouTube videos to learn a little more.

Installing Python, pip

Dev,

I've installed Python 2.7.11 and 3.5.1 onto my Windows machine. I've set both in my PATH. Interestingly, version 2.7.11 is installed on the main C:\ drive and version 3.5.1 is installed in my C:\Program Files. At first, version 3.5.1 sets its location to my User folder, but I wanted All Users to have access to this Python.

Anyhow, once set, I run in the Command Line and seems the latest version runs (i.e. 3.5.1).

Below are some basic commands.

Basic Commands

Is Python installed, Find Version

$ python --version

Is PIP installed
