String data is becoming more and more common, especially with the amount of textual data available on the web. In this scenario, being able to manipulate, normalize, and clean textual data has become a desirable skill set. In this session we will talk about basic operations on String data type using Python. We will also talk about how to use Regular Expressions to find patterns or remove useless data.
