The notes given

Bertrand Chen, MINDEF

The virtual machines worked very well and make playing around with the code very easy. I also particularly liked having copies of all the examples being put together by the trainer to following with so I could see the end result in advance. Made it easier for me to ask more specific questions.

Stefan Kotze - Samantha Campbell, ACC

Trainer covered more in depth in every topic within the time given and also gave us questions to do and explained it whenever we had queries.

Praveent Thamil Mani - Bertrand Chen, MINDEF

Well-paced, sufficient break time so us to absorb the content

Bertrand Chen, MINDEF

It generated good discussion from the group

Samantha Campbell, ACC

Days 2 and 3. There was an absurd amount of content but Abhi handled it well, so I got real value there.

Michael Clews - Samantha Campbell, ACC

The communication with the Mr. Khobeib

Aref AlHosani - Ali Aljneibi, beamtrail

Ali Aljneibi, beamtrail

The knowledge of the trainer was very high and the material was well prepared and organised.

Otilia - Gareth Morgan, TCMT

I thought the trainer was very knowledgeable and answered questions with confidence to clarify understanding.

Jenna - Gareth Morgan, TCMT

I did like the exercises

Office for National Statistics

The trainer gave a clear and systematic teaching. He usually gave the reasoning and fundamental knowledge behind the commands. He also gave us time to do the exercises and practice.

Felicia Rezanda - Ong Lee Chiau, HP Singapore (Private) Ltd.

The trainer will illustrate the theory behind certain data structure behavior using Jamboard.

Ong Lee Chiau, HP Singapore (Private) Ltd.

Learned lots of things of course.

Jonathan Rico, Nordic Semiconductor ASA

The first 2 days were very informative. it gets messy when you get into frameworks because every projects has its own goals and requirements and sometimes the 'popular' framework isn't suitable.

Raphael Treccani-Chinelli - Jonathan Rico, Nordic Semiconductor ASA

How flexible Gunnar was with what he taught. He seemed well prepared and of god knowledge in the topic.

Jonathan Rico, Nordic Semiconductor ASA

Very good overview about python on a lot of area of usage.

János Dóra - Robert Bosch Kft.

The early examples was to build up for the later coming complex topics like machine learning or data analyzing.

Robert Bosch Kft.

The prepared Jupiter Notebook examples were really good. Plenty of explanations for later, offline use, and we didn't have to spend half of the training copying the examples.

Csongor Miklos - Robert Bosch Kft.

The trainer was friendly and had a very good way of explaining the topics to us

Thames Water Utilities Ltd

Lots of things; good explanations of the underlying concepts and how they work, good practical exercises to demonstrate the concepts etc

Thames Water Utilities Ltd

1:1 very intensive but learnt a lot.

Karen Dyke - BT

the hands-on exercise and the instructor seem very knowledgeable.

Ashok Nair, City of Calgary

The trainer was a practitioner with a lot of experience and had a very good knowledge of the material.

Witold Iwaniec - Ashok Nair, City of Calgary

The explaination

Wei Yang Teo - Ministry of Defence, Singapore

The trainer took the time to answer all our questions.

Ministry of Defence, Singapore

The trainers depth of knowledge & explanations, he could explain difficult concepts quite intuitively!

KnowledgePool

The trainer was very knowledgeable, he was able to answer every question, was able to bug fix coding issues, and could tie a lot of the topics into his real life experiences. The trainer's knowledge applied to a different approach to coding (see above) would have been perfect.

Premier Partnership

Seeing the practical examples

Premier Partnership

Trainer knowledge and experience on subject matter is very deep

Premier Partnership

The trainers knowledge of the topics he was teaching.

Premier Partnership

Having access to the notebooks to work through

Premier Partnership

In-depth coverage of machine learning topics, particularly neural networks. Demystified a lot of the topic.

Sacha Nandlall

The topics referring to NLG. The team was able to learn something new in the end with topics that were interesting but it was only in the last day. There were also more hands on activities than slides which was good.

I loved summaries

Martyna - Robert Kwiatkowski, Orange Szkolenia Sp. z o.o.

Materials Trainer

Zakar Abid - Gehan Hisham Elraey, TII

Did hands on exercise. Walked through the code. Explained everything very well

Steve Thomas - Gehan Hisham Elraey, TII

monkeypatch, fixtures, proper writing tests

Alicja Regulska, ArcelorMittal Business Center of Excellence Poland Sp. z o.o. Sp. k.

No rushing things, though a bit too slow sometimes. Checking excercises with group and comparing solutions

Piotr - Alicja Regulska, ArcelorMittal Business Center of Excellence Poland Sp. z o.o. Sp. k.

możliwość dopytania w każdej chwili

Alicja Regulska, ArcelorMittal Business Center of Excellence Poland Sp. z o.o. Sp. k.

good is a previous day material repeat

Alicja Regulska, ArcelorMittal Business Center of Excellence Poland Sp. z o.o. Sp. k.

The trainer is interactive with the audience. He is able to reply the questions easily and gives the accurate examples and illustrations in real life. The theoritical and practical rythm are smooth. The exercices give the user a better experience to think and structure his/ her way of testing and developping. Numpy and Pandas may be useful in order to better exploit data, such as performance results, statistics, image treatement, calculating the correlation for biological set images. The Django framework would be helpful for building web API. All this knowledge is an asset. However, I am not sure this would be fruitful for other contexts, since we need unit and Integration tests of Java apps in Python.

Soumaya ELALOUANI - Stéphanie Vander Straeten, Telemis

I liked the "bottom up" approach (i.e. "let's say we want to do this and then discover how we can improve it using design patterns") instead of "top down" (i.e. this is pattern X and this is how you can use it)

Ewa Dusza, Red Embedded Consulting Sp. z o.o.

That we started from a simple implementation, adding functionalities/features until we need to update the design to keep having a maintainable software. Definitely real life job problems I see value in this. Also liked the use of VideoUpload project as we can relate to this working in Consult Red. Very open to questions, driving the class in a way asked by the audience.

Thibault Marechal - Ewa Dusza, Red Embedded Consulting Sp. z o.o.

A lot of knowledge servred in easy to take way.

Paweł Piszcz - Ewa Dusza, Red Embedded Consulting Sp. z o.o.

I like that it focuses more on the how-to of the different text summarization methods

Provided a very broad overview on object-oriented programming.
