Code-Alongs
What is a Code-Along?
Code-Alongs are live experiences taught by our instructors designed to prepare you for concepts found in the sprint challenges. They're your opportunity to work on complex job-ready problems in a live and engaging environment.
These sessions are 50 minutes in length and are offered seven days a week in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Because Code-Alongs delve deeper into a core competency, you will need to come to class prepared to have the best experience.
Ideal Code-Along Preparation Checklist
- Did you review the core competencies?
- Did you watch the guided projects?
- Did you finish your module projects?
Code-Along 1: Importing Data and EDA
In this code-along, you'll work with real-world datasets and practice importing data from different sources. You'll also perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to understand the structure and characteristics of the data.
How to Prepare
- Review the core data importing and EDA concepts from the Sprint
- Watch the guided project video
- Complete your module project before attending
- Have Python and required libraries installed
Code-Along 2: Exploration through Visualization
In this code-along, you'll practice creating various types of visualizations to explore and communicate insights from your data. You'll work with matplotlib and other visualization libraries to create effective and informative plots.
How to Prepare
- Review the core visualization concepts from Module 4
- Watch the guided project video
- Complete your module project before attending
- Have Python and required libraries installed
Prepare for Success
The best Code-Along experiences happen when you are ready before coming to class. Your instructors created a starting point and a solution for each of your Code-Alongs to ensure you have what you need to succeed.
Make sure to review the relevant module materials before attending the code-along. This will help you get the most out of the session and be better prepared to tackle the challenges.
