Facebook Network Analysis using Python and Networkx

Ahmad Varasteh

By the end of this project, you will learn how to Analyze a real network graph using python. you will learn how to use Networkx module to Visualize a graph and to calculate some important measures which can describe characteristics of our graph. you will also learn About Centrality measures to find Important nodes in a graph. In the final task of the project we are going talk about Scale-free networks and we are going to prove that Facebook Network graph has familiarities with Scale-free networks.

Reviews summary

Average network analysis course

Learners say that Network Analysis is average with fair explanations of Network Analysis but good practice for using the Networkx library. However, the course can be slow and basic. If you are already familiar with Network Analysis and want to learn how to use Networkx, this course could be for you. But if you are looking for a deep dive into Network Analysis theory, this course may not meet your needs.
Good for practicing the Networkx library.
"The course content is ok in terms of practicing the library."
"If you are already familiar with Network Analysis and want to learn how to use Networkx, this course could be for you."
Platform can be slow to load.
"Moreover, the platform for guided projects takes a lot of time to load which makes the learning experience really bad."
Lacking depth in theory.
"but too basic in terms of explaining what is Network analysis."
