Getting started with Python

In this post we’ll delve deeper into the Python language’s concepts, structure and its syntax. We’ll learn about more complex parts of the language. In the later section, we’ll introduce Python’s most popular Machine Learning libraries. So let’s get started with the portion left from the previous post.
