      Can vouch for Sean's comment and Andrew's workshop since I attended his last workshop and met Sean there.

      Andrew's workshop is great for beginners who want to start learning new programming language and it is inexpensive.

  I'm be interested to see how python and particularly pandas could be taught to beginners in the time frame. Clever chap. I've been using pandas in my spare time for a year or so and love it but there's so much to learn and plenty of gotchas. Not in Melbourne unfortunately.

    I'm always up for a challenge :)

    This'll be my third workshop and I think I can do it in the timeframe as I focus on what's necessary to automate that report.

    I started with wanting to cover so many topics, but some of them were 'nice to haves' instead of core fundamentals.

  Any planned for Sydney at some point?

    Not at the moment, unfortunately.

    But hey if this ends up successful, I'd love to teach in Sydney!

  To get started, it is better to try something for free

    Yeah give it go! :)

    Maybe you could try the online course and see if the explanations resonate with you.

    It was kind of similar to how I started programming, but I didn't have someone in person to ask for help which meant I wasted hours and hours trying to figure out what was going on, even after googling and posting in forums.

    If you're okay to grind through certain concepts that might not make sense, online courses will work. But if you'd like to shortcut that part and save yourself some time, you should sign up for Saturday :)

  Would absolutely go to this if it was in Sydney!
  Please consider :)

  Otherwise, thanks for the great deal and teaching people Python

  that usually takes days in Excel

  You need to improve your Excel skills then…

  No indication why this is actually a deal or who is hosting the workshop (assuming they are anyone known in the industry).

  As far as I can tell this same workshop was hosted last month for half the price and 2 days ago for $30 at a different venue in VIC. Sure the extra cost could be due to the different venue but I still fail to see how this is a deal.

    Hi Hintswen,

    I'll be hosting the workshop :)
    My name's Andrew - all my details can be found on my website - edgecate.com

    I've over 11 years experience as an IT consultant at large multinationals using Python with ASX20 clients for automation, data analysis, and forecasting.

    Yep, I hosted the last two at Alamein.

    Rates were cheaper the first time around because the room was available last minute so I got an amazing price.
    Second time around, I booked in advanced and had to pay a little more.
    Third time around, the workshop is in the city which is a lot more expensive to hire and this was the most affordable venue I could find.

    As I mentioned in my post above, I only charge enough to pay for venue hire, Eventbrite fees, and tax.
    I barely make a dollar on this.
    Other company's like General Assembly charge a few thousand for their introduction courses - mine's $30, so that's the huge bargain there :)

    If you're wondering why would I even bother then, it's because I'm exploring a career change from IT consulting to teaching.
    I love teaching and have a huge passion for it, so the money doesn't matter too much for now since I do this on the weekend.
    If you're still interested, I'd love to see you there on Saturday!

  This is good deal. Unfortunately I can't go to CBD, waiting for same course at Alamein again.
