Description
Layered Learning
Never a “one size fits all” approach, our training opportunities are divided into beginner (1000), intermediate (2000), and advanced (3000 – 9000) experience levels. Rather than learning things you might not need to know, you can choose the topics that you are most interested in.
The Python Primer
In this Python Primer if you have NEVER PROGRAMMED BEFORE you will learn what programming is, why we program, as well as how to get started using modern Python. if you have more experience then you should skip to Python 1100.
Beginners Welcome!
Written by a Principal Trainer & Principal Software Development Engineer, in order to insure mastery key topics are presented several times, as well as at ever-increasing depth. You will also be using the default cross platform programming interfaces. From Microsoft Windows and Linux to Mac – the same code will look and work the same way on all operating systems.
From keywords & tabs, to testing & documentation, hints & tips on how to use Python in the professional world abound!
After completing the Python 1000 series, in the Python 2000 series you will complete keyword mastery by exploring a large collection of activity-related topics. Sold separately, in the 2000 series will enjoy learning how to create Lambdas, Generators, Context Managers, Packages & Modules, Classes, Factories, Frameworks, how to manage Exceptions, as well as other professional programming topics.
Who this course is for:
- First-time software developers.
- Learners who do not want to feel overwhelmed.
- Students who want many certificates on their resume.
- Anyone who wants to know what Python 3 can do!
