This fully online course is an introductory-level workshop that aims to provide foundational skills in data cleaning, organising and visualising with spreadsheets, OpenRefine and Python. Everyone interested in acquiring a fast but sound grounding on a typical data life-cycle with a focus on Python is welcome to participate. No prior knowledge is needed.
