Introduction
Course Overview
A high-level programming language that has an English-like syntax, Python is easy to read, write and learn. It’s one of the leading programming languages from Microsoft, making it a great course to study.
Improve productivity with Python due to its simplicity. Python has lots of support and is very portable, where you can write once and read anywhere, unlike C/C++.
Learn the fundamentals of Python and how to program using this popular programming language by taking our four day virtual classroom course.
You will be taught the programming skills required to develop applications using Python’s language features, third-party software packages, and standard library modules.
Key Learnings Include:
- Python Basics
- Functions and Modules
- Maths
- Python Strings
- Iterables
- Virtual Environments
- Flow Control
- Exception Handling
- Python Dates and Times
- File Processing
- PEP8 and Pylint
We’re proud of our excellent rating on Trustpilot, with over 13,000 reviews from our past students.
