Python for Programmers
"Python for Programmers" is a three-day course on the fundamentals of the Python programming language. Taught by a developer with over a decade of professional Python programming and training experience, this is a hands-on, exercise-driven course designed for developers coming from other languages who need to get up to speed on Python quickly.
In this course, students will learning the essentials of the Python language, including:
- Builtin types and the Python object model
- Flow control and exceptions
- Class definition, inheritance, and common usage patterns
- Program organisation with modules and packages
- The Python standard library
- Obtaining and installing Python packages
- Comprehensions, generators, and iteration
- Unit testing
- Filesystem interaction
- Debugging
This course will prepare students for real-world Python development. Students can start with little or no Python knowledge, and they will learn the tools and techniques they need to work with Python programs of any size. Students will also learn how to write idiomatic, Pythonic code that is maintainable, understandable, and performant. Python is a large language, so we can't cover everything in this course, but students will leave this course with the right high-level understanding to properly grow their Python skills.
