Details
Python is a popular and easy-to-learn language with applications in Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Software development and more. Python is a very high-level object-oriented programming language which is used extensively as a web programming language, and cross-platform graphical user interface. It is also a scripting language for system administration, GIS packages and engineering software. Python is relatively easy to learn and eliminates much of the boilerplate code that many comparable languages require. Python allows the programmer to choose between programming paradigms: imperative and object oriented, procedural and functional.
This course covers the Python programming language from first principles to advanced concepts in functional programming and object-oriented design. This course is a great option for anyone who needs to gain a broad understanding of Python and gain real-world programming skills.
