Description
About the course
Python is an object oriented rapid development language deployed in many scenarios in the modern world.
This Python Programming 1 course is designed to give delegates the knowledge to develop and maintain Python scripts using the current version (V3) of Python.
There are many similarities between Python V2 and Python V3. The skills gained on this course will allow the delegate to develop their own skills further using Python V2 or V3 to support the development and maintenance of scripts.
Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:
• Reading/writing text and binary files
• Declaring and initialising variables
• Constructing expressions with all operator types
• Using conditional statements
• Using iterative statements
• Manipulating text using regular expressions
• Declaring and using modules
• Using and creating Python objects
• Using built-in library functions
• Using lists and dictionaries
• Interacting with the email system
• Interacting with databases
Who will the Course Benefit?
Programmers who need to write or maintain scripts in Python.
Course Objectives
This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to produce Python applications that exploit all core elements of the language including input/output, variables, expressions, selection and iteration, functions, modules, classes and objects, email, and database operations.
Requirements
Familiarity with programming concepts is useful, this knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the Introduction to Programming course.
