Course Summary
This introductory course gives you an opportunity to dive into Python and computer programming with no specific prerequisites or prior knowledge required. It will guide you from a state of complete programming illiteracy to a level of programming knowledge which will allow you to design, write, debug, and run Python scripts, and to understand the basic concepts of software development technology.
Having completed the course, you will be prepared to attempt the qualification PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification, and to get your foot in the door to careers in software development, data analysis, and testing.
Key skills you will learn:
• Python
• Computer Programming
• Algorithmic Thinking
• Analytical Thinking
• Design, Develop, and Debug Scripts
• Best Practices in Programming
• Procedural Programming
The following topics will be covered during the course:
• Introduction to Python and computer programming
• The fundamentals of computer programming, i.e. how the computer works, how the program is executed, how the programming language is defined and constructed, what the difference is between compilation and interpretation, what Python is, how it is positioned among other programming languages, and what distinguishes the different versions of Python;
• Data types, variables, basic input-output operations, basic operators
• The basic methods of formatting and outputting data offered by Python, together with the primary kinds of data and numerical operators, their mutual relations and bindings; the concept of variables and variable naming conventions; the assignment operator, the rules governing the building of expressions; the inputting and converting of data;
• Boolean values, conditional execution, loops, lists, logical and bitwise operations
• Boolean values to compare difference values and control the execution paths using the if and if-else instructions; the utilization of loops (while and for) and how to control their behavior using the break and continue instructions; the difference between logical and bitwise operations; the concept of lists and list processing, including the iteration provided by the for loop, and slicing; the idea of multi-dimensional arrays;
• Functions, tuples, dictionaries, and data processing
• The defining and using of functions – their rationale, purpose, conventions, and traps; the concept of passing arguments in different ways and setting their default values, along with the mechanisms of returning the function’s results; name scope issues; new data aggregates: tuples and dictionaries, and their role in data processing.
