About this course
The main goal of the course is to guide you from a state of complete programming illiteracy to a level of programming knowledge that allows you to design, write, debug, and run programs encoded in the Python language, and to understand the basic concepts of software development technology.
The course will prepare you for jobs and careers connected with widely understood software development, which includes not only creating the code itself as a junior developer but also computer systems design and software testing.
Who should attend?
The course aims to prepare those who are intrested in software development, system design, and software testing.
Learning Outcome
You will learn:
- Learn the universal concepts of computer programming
- Learn the syntax and semantics of the Python language
- Practice skills in resolving typical implementation challenges
- Use the most important elements of Python Standard Library
- Install your runtime environment
- Write your own Python programs
Prerequisites
No prior knowledge or experience in programming
Course Content
Module 1: 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.
Module 2: Data types, variables, basic input-output operation, 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.
Module 3: Boolean values, conditional execution, loops, lists, logical and bitwise operation
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.
Module 4: 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.
