[DataCamp]( DataCamp Weekly Issue #17 ― October 3, 2017 Hi, we have two big announcements this week. The first is that we have a brand new community section! More on that below. The second is that we are doing a Facebook Live Code Along session next Tuesday! DataCamp’s Hugo Bowne-Anderson will be going over how to create a data science pipeline in Python to plot word frequency distribution histograms for the novel Moby Dick. Learn how to use tools such as Requests, BeautifulSoup & Natural Language Toolkit (nltk) live where you can ask questions as you code along with Hugo. The event will be hosted on our [Facebook page]( on October 10th at 11AM ET. If you can’t make it, don’t worry! We’ll make the video and the [Jupyter Notebook]( available to you.
