Finance and Python
What is FinanceAndPython.com?
FinanceAndPython is a completely free website meant to teach both finance concepts and python concepts at the same time.
About Us
Finance and Python is a website that teaches both python and finance through a “learning by doing” model. First, the actual concepts are worked through and explained. After the concepts have been covered, the next step of the process is turning the concept to practical python code. The user is guided through both of these parts, but is also presented with challenges in each lesson that give an opportunity to try things out for oneself first. On the next page a solution is presented and explained. The python courses are meant to teach only important python concepts, whereas the other course categories are meant to showcase how to use python in each of these areas. No finance/economics/math concepts will be discussed in the python courses, but in these three categories python concepts will be expanded on further. These courses are presented for free, under the assumption users will not duplicate or copy them without express permission from the author. The author of this website, Sean McOwen, also has taught a course on alternative data in finance which can be found hereSupport FinanceAndPython:
