Introduction

Visualization helps transform raw numbers into meaningful insights.

In this lab, we will create charts using Matplotlib and NumPy to understand patterns, trends, and comparisons.

---

Exercise 1: Plotting a Linear Function

A linear function has the general form:

y = mx + b

Where:
- m = slope
- b = y-intercept

For this exercise:

y = 2x + 3

---

Code

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 100)

y = 2 * x + 3

plt.plot(
    x,
    y,
    color='green',
    label='y = 2x + 3'
)

plt.xlabel("X Values")
plt.ylabel("Y Values")

plt.title("Simple Line Plot")

plt.grid(True)

plt.legend()

plt.show()

---

Explanation

np.linspace(-10, 10, 100)

Creates 100 evenly spaced numbers between -10 and 10.

---

y = 2 * x + 3

Calculates the corresponding Y values.

---

plt.plot()

Draws the graph.

---

plt.grid(True)

Displays grid lines for easier reading.

---

plt.legend()

Displays the graph label.

---

Expected Result

You will see:
- A straight green line
- Crossing the Y-axis at 3
- Increasing continuously because the slope is positive

---

Exercise 2: Comparing Multiple Data Series

Businesses often compare sales between different stores or years.

In this example, we compare product sales between Store A and Store B.

---

Code

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

products = [
    'Laptop',
    'Mouse',
    'Keyboard',
    'Monitor'
]

sales_v1 = [5, 15, 10, 8]
sales_v2 = [7, 12, 11, 9]

plt.bar(
    products,
    sales_v1,
    color='blue',
    alpha=0.5,
    label='Store A'
)

plt.bar(
    products,
    sales_v2,
    color='red',
    alpha=0.5,
    label='Store B'
)

plt.title("Sales Comparison by Product")

plt.legend()

plt.show()

---

Explanation

Products:

products = [
    'Laptop',
    'Mouse',
    'Keyboard',
    'Monitor'
]

Categories displayed on the X-axis.

---

Sales Data

sales_v1 = [5, 15, 10, 8]
sales_v2 = [7, 12, 11, 9]

Represent sales numbers for two stores.

---

Transparency

alpha = 0.5

Makes bars semi-transparent so overlapping bars remain visible.

---

Legend

plt.legend()

Helps identify which color belongs to which store.

---

Expected Result

A bar chart showing:

- Blue bars → Store A
- Red bars → Store B

This makes comparison quick and easy.

---

Why These Visualizations Matter

Line Charts:
- Show trends
- Show growth or decline
- Useful for predictions

Bar Charts:
- Compare categories
- Compare performance
- Compare products, teams, or departments

---

Real-World Applications

- Business dashboards
- AI model performance analysis
- Student grade comparison
- Financial reports
- Scientific experiments

---

Practice Exercises

1. Modify the line graph and plot:

y = 3x - 5

---

2. Create a bar chart comparing the marks of five students.

---

3. Add:
- X-axis label
- Y-axis label

Statistical Visualization with Seaborn

By Yehya Oumer
(Certificate from Mizan Institute of Technology)

Issued: 2026

---

1. Introduction to Seaborn

Seaborn is a powerful Python library built on top of Matplotlib.

It is specifically designed for:
- Statistical Visualization
- Data Exploration
- Pattern Discovery
- Correlation Analysis

Seaborn works extremely well with Pandas DataFrames and requires much less code than Matplotlib for advanced visualizations.

---

Why Use Seaborn?

Advantages:

- Beautiful default chart styles
- Easier syntax
- Built-in statistical plots
- Excellent integration with Pandas
- Commonly used in Data Science and AI

---

Importing Seaborn

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

Example dataset:

tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")

The `tips dataset is included with Seaborn and is commonly used for learning and practice.

---

2. Line Plots and Semantic Grouping

Line plots help visualize trends over time.

Seaborn can automatically separate groups using colors with the hue parameter.

---

Example

``python
sns.lineplot(
data=df,
x="Year",
y="Sales",
hue="Region"
)

plt.show()

---

Understanding `hue`

The `hue` parameter automatically assigns different colors to categories.

Example:

python
hue = "Region"

Different regions will appear as separate colored lines.

---

Applications

- Sales growth analysis
- Population trends
- Weather tracking
- Business dashboards

---

3. Scatter Plots and Correlation

Scatter plots are used to discover relationships between numerical variables.

---

Example

python
sns.scatterplot(
x="Age",
y="Weight",
data=my_data
)

plt.title("Age vs Weight Correlation")

plt.show()

---

Why Scatter Plots Matter

They help identify:

- Positive correlation
- Negative correlation
- No correlation
- Outliers

---

Example Interpretation

If points move upward from left to right:

text
Age ↑ → Weight ↑

This indicates a positive correlation.

---

4. Box Plots (Five Number Summary)

A box plot summarizes the distribution of data.

It highlights:

- Minimum value
- First Quartile (Q1)
- Median
- Third Quartile (Q3)
- Maximum value

It also helps detect outliers.

---

Example

python
sns.boxplot(
x="day",
y="total_bill",
data=tips
)

plt.show()

---

Why Box Plots Are Useful

They quickly show:

- Data spread
- Skewness
- Median values
- Unusual observations

---

5. Heatmaps and Correlation Matrices

Heatmaps visually represent relationships between variables.

They are extremely important in:

- Machine Learning
- AI Engineering
- Data Analysis

---

Example

python
correlation_matrix = df.corr()

sns.heatmap(
correlation_matrix,
annot=True,
cmap='coolwarm'
)

plt.show()

---

Understanding the Parameters

python
annot=True

Displays the correlation values inside each cell.

---

python
cmap='coolwarm'

Uses a color gradient:

- Blue → Weak or Negative Relationship
- Red → Strong Positive Relationship

---

Why Heatmaps Matter

They help answer questions like:

- Which variables affect sales?
- Which features influence predictions?
- Which columns are strongly related?

---

Real-World Applications of Seaborn

- Data Science
- Artificial Intelligence
- Business Intelligence
- Finance
- Healthcare Analytics
- Scientific Research

Basic Python Course
Web Scraping: BeautifulSoup & Requests

By Yehya Oumer
(Certificate from Mizan Institute of Technology)

Issued: 2026

---

1. Introduction to Web Scraping

Web scraping is the process of automatically extracting data from websites.

Instead of copying and pasting information manually, Python can read a webpage's HTML and extract specific data automatically. 0

---

Why Learn Web Scraping?

Web scraping is useful for:

- Data Collection
- Market Research
- Price Monitoring
- AI Dataset Creation
- News Aggregation
- Business Intelligence

---

Required Libraries

Install the required libraries:

pip install beautifulsoup4 requests

These libraries help us:
- Download webpage content
- Analyze HTML structure
- Extract useful information

---

2. Fetching Web Content with Requests

The first step is sending a GET request to a website.

This allows Python to download the webpage source code. 1

---

Example

import requests

url = "https://example.com"

response = requests.get(url)

print(response.status_code)

---

Understanding Status Codes

Common status codes:

200 → Success
404 → Page Not Found
500 → Server Error
403 → Access Forbidden

---

3. Parsing HTML with BeautifulSoup

After downloading a webpage, BeautifulSoup converts HTML into a searchable structure. 2

---

Example

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(
    response.content,
    "html.parser"
)

print(soup.title.string)

This extracts the webpage title. 3

---

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to build web pages.

Example:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
    </body>
</html>

BeautifulSoup helps navigate this structure.

---

4. Finding Elements

Web pages contain different HTML tags.

Examples:

<p>Paragraph</p>

<a href="https://example.com">
Link
</a>

BeautifulSoup can search for these elements. 4

---

Finding All Paragraphs

paragraphs = soup.find_all('p')

for p in paragraphs:
    print(p.get_text())

---

Finding All Links

links = soup.find_all('a')

for link in links:
    print(link.get('href'))

5

---

5. Scraping Tables

Many websites store data inside tables.

This is useful for:
- Product lists
- Student records
- Statistics
- Financial reports

---

Example

table = soup.find('table')

rows = table.find_all('tr')

This finds:
- Table element
- All rows inside the table

6

---

Extracting Table Data

for row in rows:

    cols = row.find_all('td')

    data = [
        ele.text.strip()
        for ele in cols
    ]

    print(data)

7

---

How It Works

find_all('tr')

Finds table rows.

---

find_all('td')

Finds table cells.

---

text.strip()

Removes extra spaces.

---

6. Robust Scraping with Exception Handling

Sometimes:

- Websites are offline
- Internet connections fail
- Servers respond slowly

Exception handling prevents your program from crashing. 8

---

Example

try:

    response = requests.get(
        url,
        timeout=10
    )

    response.raise_for_status()

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:

    print(f"Error: {e}")

9

---

Why Exception Handling Matters

Without exception handling:

Program crashes

With exception handling:

Program continues safely

---

Real-World Applications

- AI Dataset Collection
- Stock Market Monitoring
- E-commerce Price Tracking
- News Collection
- Social Media Analysis
- Business Research

---

Practice Exercises

1. Page Title Extractor

Write a program that visits a website and prints its title.

---

2. Link Collector

Write a scraper that collects all hyperlinks from a webpage.

---

3. Table Extractor

Find an HTML table and print every row as a Python list.

---

4. Safe Scraper

Modify your scraper using try-except so it handles connection failures without crashing.

Basic Python Course
Interacting with APIs

By Yehya Oumer
(Certificate from Mizan Institute of Technology)

Issued: 2026

---

1. What is an API?

API stands for Application Programming Interface.

An API is a set of rules that allows one software application to communicate with another.

In Python, APIs are commonly used to:

- Connect to AI models
- Access weather data
- Retrieve map information
- Access social media platforms
- Work with cloud services

---

Real-World Example

When you use a weather app:

Weather App → API → Weather Server

The API acts as the messenger between the application and the server.

---

RESTful APIs

Most modern APIs use REST (Representational State Transfer).

REST APIs communicate using standard HTTP methods.

---

2. HTTP Methods

The most common HTTP methods are:

GET     → Retrieve data
POST    → Create new data
PUT     → Update existing data
DELETE  → Remove data

---

Example Scenario

GET     → Read user information
POST    → Create a new account
PUT     → Update profile details
DELETE  → Delete an account

---

3. Making Requests in Python

Python commonly uses the requests library to communicate with APIs.

---

Import Requests

import requests

---

Example

import requests

url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"

response = requests.get(url)

This sends a GET request to the API.

---

Checking the Response

print(response.status_code)

Example Output:

200

---

4. Reading API Data

Many APIs return data in JSON format.

JSON stands for:

JavaScript Object Notation

Python treats JSON data similarly to dictionaries.

---

Convert Response to JSON

data = response.json()

---

Example

if response.status_code == 200:

    data = response.json()

    print(data[0]["title"])

This prints the title of the first post returned by the API.

---

5. Understanding JSON

JSON stores information as key-value pairs.

Example:

{
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Hello World",
    "userId": 10
}

---

Accessing Values

json_data = response.json()

print(json_data["id"])

---

Accessing Multiple Fields

print(json_data["title"])

print(json_data["userId"])

---

6. Understanding Status Codes

Status codes tell us whether a request succeeded or failed.

---

Common Status Codes

| Code | Meaning | Description |
|--------|--------|--------|
| 200 | OK | Request successful |
| 201 | Created | New resource created |
| 400 | Bad Request | Invalid request |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Missing or invalid authentication |
| 404 | Not Found | Resource does not exist |
| 500 | Server Error | Internal server problem |

---

Example

if response.status_code == 200:
    print("Success")
else:
    print("Request Failed")

---

7. Why APIs Matter

APIs power most modern software.

Examples:

- ChatGPT API
- Google Maps API
- NASA API
- Weather APIs
- Payment APIs
- Social Media APIs

Without APIs, applications could not easily share information.

---

Real-World Applications

- AI Applications
- Mobile Apps
- Web Development
- Financial Systems
- Data Science
- Automation Tools

---

NASA API Example

The NASA APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) API provides daily space images.

Example:

import requests

url = "https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?api_key=DEMO_KEY"

response = requests.get(url)

data = response.json()

print(data["title"])

print(data["url"])

---

Practice Exercises

1. Fetch Posts

Use:

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts

Print the title of the first post.

---

2. Status Checker

Write a program that prints:

Success

if the status code is 200.

Otherwise print:

Request Failed

---

3. JSON Explorer

Create a Python dictionary and practice accessing:

name
age
country

using dictionary keys.

---

4. NASA APOD Challenge

Use the NASA APOD API and print:

Title
Image URL
Explanation

for today's astronomy picture.

Basic Python Course
Testing and Debugging

By Yehya Oumer
(Certificate from Mizan Institute of Technology)

Issued: 2026

---

1. Introduction to Testing

Testing is the process of checking whether your code behaves as expected.

A program may run without errors but still produce incorrect results.

Testing helps programmers:

- Find bugs early
- Improve reliability
- Prevent future errors
- Build professional software

---

What is Unit Testing?

Unit testing is a technique where individual components such as functions and classes are tested independently.

The goal is to verify that each small part of a program works correctly before integrating it into a larger system.

---

Why Unit Testing Matters

Benefits:

- Detects bugs quickly
- Makes code easier to maintain
- Improves software quality
- Helps developers make changes confidently

---

Pro Tip

If a test fails, you can isolate the bug without worrying about the rest of the application.

---

2. Using the unittest Framework

Python includes a built-in testing framework called unittest.

To create tests:

1. Import unittest
2. Create a class that inherits from unittest.TestCase
3. Write test methods
4. Run the tests

---

Example

import unittest

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

class TestMath(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_add(self):

        self.assertEqual(
            add(10, 5),
            15
        )

        self.assertEqual(
            add(-1, 1),
            0
        )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

---

Understanding the Example

add(10, 5)

Expected result:

15

---

``python
assertEqual()
``

Checks whether two values are equal.

If they are not equal, the test fails.

---

unittest.main()

Runs all tests inside the file.

---

3. Common Assert Methods

Assertions are used to verify expected results.

---

Checking Equality

self.assertEqual(a, b)

Verifies:

a == b

---

Checking True Values

self.assertTrue(x)

Verifies that:

x is True

---

Checking Membership

self.assertIn(item, collection)

Verifies that an item exists inside a collection.

Example:

self.assertIn(
    "apple",
    ["apple", "banana"]
)

---

Checking Exceptions

self.assertRaises(Error)

Verifies that specific errors are raised.

Example:

with self.assertRaises(
    ZeroDivisionError
):
    5 / 0

---

4. Writing Clean Code (PEP 8)

PEP 8 is Python's official style guide.

Following PEP 8 makes code easier to:

- Read
- Maintain
- Debug
- Share with other developers

---

Indentation

Use:

4 spaces

per indentation level.

Example:

if True:
    print("Hello")

---

Naming Conventions

Functions and variables:

snake_case

Example:

student_name
calculate_total()

---

Classes

Use:

CamelCase

Example:

StudentManager
BankAccount

---

Line Length

Keep lines below:

79 characters

whenever possible.

---

DRY Principle

DRY means:

Don't Repeat Yourself

Avoid duplicated code.

Bad Example:

print("Welcome")
print("Welcome")
print("Welcome")

Better Example:

for i in range(3):
    print("Welcome")

---

5. Debugging Strategies

Debugging is the process of finding and fixing errors.

Every programmer spends a large amount of time debugging.

---

Read the Traceback

When Python encounters an error, it provides a traceback.

Example:

ZeroDivisionError:
division by zero

Read the traceback carefully.

It usually tells you:

- What happened
- Which line failed
- Why it failed

---

Print Debugging

Use print() to inspect variables.

Example:

x = 10

print(x)

This helps verify values during execution.

---

Simplify the Program

Temporarily remove or comment out sections of code.

Example:

# process_data()

Keep simplifying until the source of the bug becomes obvious.

---

Common Programming Errors

Syntax Error

if True
    print("Hello")

Missing colon.

---

Name Error

print(username)

Variable not defined.

---

Type Error

"5" + 5

String and integer cannot be added directly.

---

Zero Division Error

10 / 0

Division by zero is not allowed.

---

Why Testing and Debugging Matter

Professional developers do not rely on luck.

They:

- Write tests
- Verify results
- Debug systematically

This leads to reliable and maintainable software.

---

Practice Exercises

1. Create a function called multiply() and write unit tests for it.

---

2. Use assertIn() to verify that "banana" exists inside a list.

---

3. Write a test that confirms dividing by zero raises a ZeroDivisionError.

---

4. Create a program with an intentional bug and use print() debugging to locate the problem.

---

5. Refactor repeated code using the DRY principle.

## Classes, Methods, and Inheritance

class AIModel:

    def __init__(self, name):

        self.name = name

    def predict(self, data):

        raise NotImplementedError(
            "Subclasses must implement this!"
        )


class NeuralNetwork(AIModel):

    def predict(self, data):

        return (
            f"Processing {data} "
            f"using {self.name} architecture..."
        )


model = NeuralNetwork(
    "Transformer-V2"
)

print(
    model.predict(
        [0.1, 0.5, 0.9]
    )
)

## Why OOP Matters

Benefits:

- Reusable code
- Better organization
- Easier maintenance
- Scalable software architecture
- Foundation of modern AI frameworks

# 2. Decorators: Enhancing Functions

Decorators allow you to modify the behavior of a function without changing its original source code. 1

They are commonly used for:

- Logging
- Monitoring
- Timing functions
- Authentication
- Performance measurement

---

## Example

import time

def timer_decorator(func):

    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):

        start = time.time()

        result = func(
            *args,
            **kwargs
        )

        print(
            f"Execution time: "
            f"{time.time() - start:.4f}s"
        )

        return result

    return wrapper


@timer_decorator
def train_model():

    time.sleep(1.5)

    return "Model Trained!"


train_model()

---

## What Happens Here?

@timer_decorator

Wraps the function automatically.

---

time.time()

Measures execution time.

---

Useful for:

- AI training sessions
- Performance optimization
- Benchmarking

---

# 3. Generators & Memory Efficiency

Large-scale applications cannot always load huge datasets into memory.

Generators solve this problem by producing data one item at a time. 2

---

## Example

def batch_generator(
    data,
    batch_size
):

    for i in range(
        0,
        len(data),
        batch_size
    ):

        yield data[
            i:i + batch_size
        ]


large_dataset = list(
    range(1000000)
)

for batch in batch_generator(
    large_dataset,
    32
):

    pass

---

## Understanding yield

Unlike return:

return

Stops the function completely.

---

yield

Pauses the function and remembers its state.

---

Benefits:

- Lower memory usage
- Faster processing
- Better scalability

---

# 4. Asynchronous Programming (asyncio)

Asynchronous programming allows multiple tasks to run concurrently without blocking each other. 3

This is useful when:

- Calling APIs
- Downloading files
- Working with networks
- Processing multiple requests

---

## Example

import asyncio

async def fetch_api_data(id):

    print(
        f"Starting request {id}..."
    )

    await asyncio.sleep(2)

    return (
        f"Data {id} received"
    )


async def main():

    results = await asyncio.gather(
        fetch_api_data(1),
        fetch_api_data(2)
    )

    print(results)


asyncio.run(main())

---

## Understanding Key Concepts

async def

Defines an asynchronous function.

---

await

Waits without blocking the entire program.

---

asyncio.gather()

Runs multiple tasks concurrently.

---

Benefits:

- Faster applications
- Better responsiveness
- Efficient network operations

---

# 5. Context Managers (with Statement)

Context managers safely manage resources.

They ensure resources are released properly even if an error occurs. 4

---

## Example

`python
class DatabaseConnection:

enterer__(self):

print(
"Connected to AI Database"
)

return self
