In recent years, the demand for Python has grown dramatically. It has evolved from a little-known, highly specialized languages to one of the most popular and widespread in the world of information technology.
You can write scripts in Python to automate routine tasks, web and desktop applications, games and programs related to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Python is a simple, straightforward, but at the same time incredibly powerful programming language. To create high-quality applications in Python, it is important to have a good understanding of its key concepts.
During our course you will learn the basics of Python and lay a solid foundation for further use in real projects.
FOR WHOM
The course is designed for those who are already familiar with the basics of programming and want to understand the features and capabilities of Python. The course is also suitable for those who already have little experience in developing or testing software products.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE YOU WILL
- Know and understand the basic concepts of Python
- Learn how to write programs in Python and create a project that you can add to your portfolio
- Learn to test your programs written in Python
- Gain basic Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery skills for Python code
- With a basic knowledge of Python, you will be able to continue to study such trends as Data Science and Machine Learning
The course lasts 3 months and includes 14 classes.
The duration of each lesson is 2 hours. Additionally, you need time to independently perform theoretical and practical homework.
