Python Programming Level 1: Introduction for Programmers Course

 

Overview

In this live, instructor-led training course, students who already have a programming background will learn to program in Python. Attendees will learn: how Python works and its place in the world of programming languages; to work with and manipulate strings; to perform math operations; to work with Python sequences; to collect user input and output results; flow control processing; to write to, and read from, files; to write functions; to handle exception; and work with dates and times.

Audience

Students new to the Python language who already have experience with other programming languages.

Prerequisites

This course is specially designed for individuals with prior programming background. You should also have a working knowledge of Object Oriented Programming concepts. If you have no prior programming experience or are not familiar with Object Oriented Programming, you should consider our "Python Programming Level 1: Introduction for Non-Programmers" course instead. For details on this alternative course for non-programmers see Python Programming Level 1: Introduction for Non-Programmers
