[python-nigeria] python-nigeria Digest, Vol 20, Issue 7

Mon Mar 13 12:15:13 EDT 2017

Dear Python Nigeria Directors

Please when are we having another Data Science BootCamp?
I missed the January Edition, I have been checking for the next one.
I believe if we get it right, this one of the best ways, to initiate
beginners fully to hit ground runny.
And I believe so many opportunities can also come up here, driving
down unemployment in our society.

Yours faithfully,
Tunji Ologun
