Python Programming

This course is an introduction to the Python programming language without prior programming experience. Python language is a language with simple syntax and a strong set of libraries.

It is an interpreted language which holds an advanced programming environment including a powerful debugger and profiler, although it is very easy to understand for beginners. It is used for data exploration in many scientific fields.

In this python programming course we cover data types, control flow, object-oriented programming and applications that are controlled by graphical user interfaces.

The examples and problems that we have used in this course come from a variety of areas such as word processing, basic graphics and image manipulation, HTML and web programming, and genomics.

Nowadays Python is a hotly debated programming language. It is widely used in many kinds of business fields that require programming, internet development, machine learning, and information science.

Because of its widespread use, it is not surprising that Python has replaced Java as the primary programming language.

Our aim of this course is to provide students with a solid knowledge in the basic concepts of Python. With the help of this course students can learn and implement real-time Python applications. The course covers all the basic concepts of Python.

After the end of the course there is discussion about many Python related real-time projects, concepts can include database connectivity and GUI. Programming would be done on different platforms.
