Functions are the verbs of programming — and Python's functions play an important role is making your programs easier to write, read, undertand, and maintain. In this course, we'll discuss Python's functions from a variety of different angles.

In particular, we'll discuss:

• Invoking functions
• Functions are data
• Functions vs. methods
• Docstrings
• Return values and unpacking
  
• Basic parameters
• Defaults
• *args
• **kwargs
  

The course is four hours long, and includes not just explanations and live coding, but also many exercises, as well as ample time for Q&A.

If you have been using Python for up to six months, you will come away from this course understanding how to write and use functions, thus making your code more "Pythonic" than before.
