Python Programming (Basic to Advanced)

Programming

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Basic to Advance Python Programming Course initially introduces the students to the Basics of Python Programming. After which, the course then provides the students higher concepts and programming logics. Upon completion of this class, the student will be able to write non-trivial Python programs dealing with a wide variety of subject matter domains.

Initially, attendees will start learning the Basic in Python topics such as the introduction, functions, syntaxes, and terminologies. Moving forward, attendees will learn the Intermediate to Advance Python topics such as testing and debugging, working with data, and classes & objects. In the last session of the modules, Learners will then be provided a Hands-on Capstone / Hackathon Project, enabling the Learners apply and test their acquired knowledge and skills from the Training.

Duration: 40 HRS / 5 DAYS)

Delivery Method: Classroom-based, Virtual Instructor Led Training

PRE-REQUISITES

We recommend that attendees of this course have the following prerequisites:

· Previous experience with other programming languages (C, C++, Java, Perl, Lisp, Visual Basic, etc.)

· Students with technical inclination and some experience developing projects like spreadsheets, SPSS scripts, Bash scripts, or macros are welcome to join. Python is a great first language -- it is very approachable and easy to learn

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This course is intended for:

Anyone who needs to learn how to write programs in Python or wants solid exposure to Python as their first programming language.
Those who have experience with other Programming Languages (C, C++, Java, Perl, Lisp, Visual Basic, etc.)

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the class, students should be able to:

Understand Python Programming, the basic installation, and utilization of Python Programming in Interactive and scripting modes, Data Structures, Functions, and Modules
Understand the Types, variables, and User Input / Output
Know the Flow Control in Python and understand Logical Operators and be able to plan the usage of Pseudocodes.
Know and understand the usage of Loops, Tuples, Lists and Dictionaries
Understand the User Input / Output Exceptions and Handling Exceptions as well as Object-Oriented Programming in Python
Know the Graphical Application Development in Python Programming and apply their knowledge.
