Course Overview

How great would it be to write your own computer program? Python is a multi-paradigm programming language used by start-ups and tech giants like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and more.

With intuitive, readable syntax, Python is a great first programming language to learn.

Programming skills open you up to careers in almost any industry and are required if you want to continue to more advanced and higher-paying software development and engineering roles.

This course is a great place to start learning Python – no prior programming knowledge is required. Completing the course earns you a Statement of Achievement.

The course also helps you prepare for two Python programming certifications:

• PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification

• PCAP – Certified Associate in Python Programming Certification

Key Topics

In this course you will learn:

• the universal concepts of computer programming;

• the syntax and semantics of the Python language;

• practical skills in resolving typical implementation challenges;

• how to use the most important elements of the Python Standard Library;

• how to install your runtime environment;

• how to design, develop, test, and debug your own Python programs.

• how to adopt general coding techniques and best practices in your projects;

• how to process strings;

• how to use object-oriented programming in Python;

• how to import and use Python modules, including the math, random, platform, os, time, DateTime, and calendar modules;

• how to create and use your own Python modules and packages;

• how to use the exception mechanism in Python;

• how to use generators, iterators, and closures in Python;

• how to process files.

Why Learn PYTHON Programming?

Python is omnipresent, people use numerous Python-powered devices daily, whether they realize it or not.

There have been millions (well, actually billions) of lines of code written in Python, which means almost unlimited opportunities for code reuse and learning from well-crafted examples.

What’s more, there is a large and very active Python community, always happy to help. There are also a couple of factors that make Python great for learning:

• It is easy to learn – the time needed to learn Python is shorter than for many other languages; this means that it’s possible to start the actual programming faster;

• It is easy to use for writing new software – it’s often possible to write code faster when using Python;

• It is easy to obtain, install and deploy – Python is free, open and multiplatform; not all languages can boast that.

Completing this course can be a stepping-stone to learning any other programming language, and to exploring technologies using Python as a foundation (e.g., Django). The course is distinguished by its affordability, friendliness, and openness to the student.

The first part started from the absolute basics, guiding you step by step to more complex problems that will be explained in this part, making you a responsible software creator able to take on different challenges in many positions in the IT industry.
