Testimonials (5)
Concrete, hands-on exercises that were relevant to our core business. Having a trainer with a scientific background was a real asset because we could delve into deeper discussions, not just about programming but also about science and how to combine the two. The practical sessions in Jupyter Notebook format were interesting.
