Python

Python is also one of the most popular programming languages in the software industry. It’s a general purpose and robust programming language used in developing Windows applications, web applications, robotics, Data Science, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and many more.

The Python course at Alpha Coding is more grounded in academic application and real world. Python is a high-level programming language, which means that it abstracts the low-level concepts such as data typing. This allows the language to be easily introduced to students who haven’t encountered programming before. We try to keep the classes at a professional level, while having some fun with projects. Students who love solving problems, and seeing their code come to life will love Python.

The courses are split into sections based on difficulty. The entry level students will learn about programming concepts in general such as loops, lists, classes, functions, recursion, etc. The intermediate level attempts to cover algorithms and data structures such as hash tables. We attempt to give students a chance to build harder and multi-day projects to get them thinking, formulating plans and to learn the best practices in this section.

Finally, once a student is comfortable solving intermediate problems, they’re moved to the advanced class where we use and build industry standard applications in A.I. and Neural Networks. We also take a look at common problems such as web scraping and APIs throughout the journey.

It’s great fun and we see some practical use for students less interested in animations and games.
