In this course you will code along with me and learn:

- what a function is and what you can put in it. Remember a function is one of the most useful actions in programming.

- how to use functions and control flow

- guidance on writing a good function

- practice functions with a real data set

When you have watched the videos you can practice your new skills with the workbooks.
