Course Overview
Build high-performance, distributed, and concurrent applications in Python
Python is a versatile programming language. Many industries are now using Python for high-performance computing projects.
This course will teach you how to use Python on parallel architectures. You'll learn to use the power of NumPy, SciPy, and Cython to speed up computation. Then you will get to grips with optimizing critical parts of the kernel using various tools. You will also learn how to optimize your programmer using Numba. You'll learn how to perform large-scale computations using Dask and implement distributed applications in Python; finally, you'll construct robust and responsive apps using Reactive programming.
By the end, you will have gained a solid knowledge of the most common tools to get you started on HPC with Python.

I am a Python newbie so this beginner-level course i just what i needed. The instructor guides you through just enough hands-on examples to grasp the concept then moves on the the next topic. It even goes through some intermediate and advanced concepts like parallel and reactive programming which are essentials concepts in the real world.

This is such an amazing course. The only problem is the vague example to explain the concepts.

The sections are good but the examples are very basic, I think it would be benificial if more real life examples and use cases are covered..this just scratches the surface
