Full Summary: This tutorial will help you get started using Python to grab data from the web, analyze the data and create graphs with our analysis.

Pre-requisite: Python Introduction and Python Logic workshop, or knowledge on basic Python logic

This tutorial will help you get started using Python to grab data from the web, analyze the data and create graphs with our analysis. We will use a relatively small scale simple project to demonstrate the basic usage of these tools by gathering some tweets from a twitter search, processing the tweets to allow for easier analysis, and analyzing the objectivity, polarity, and frequency of word usage of the tweets based on the text.

Tools: Anaconda, python libraries including numpy, Pandas, Textblob, bokeh, and Selenium
