Python Courses

Course Overview 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.

The Python Programming 1 course comprises sessions dealing with syntax, variables and data types, operators and expressions, conditions and loops, functions, objects, collections, modules and packages, strings, pattern matching, dates, exception handling, files, and databases.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

Course Overview The Python Programming 2 course comprises sessions dealing with advanced object orientation, iterators and generators, comprehensions, decorators, multithreading, functional programming, web services, and unit testing.

The delegate will learn how to exploit advanced features of the Python language to build complex and efficient applications.

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:

Encapsulating classes
Exploiting polymorphism using inheritance and mixins
Associating objects via composition and aggregation
Working with static members
Using iterators as an alternative to for
Constructing custom iterators
Constructing functions that yield generators
Manipulating lists, sets, and dictionaries using comprehension
Exploiting aspect oriented programming using decorators
