ATC-RDP160 - Python Programming I & II

Overview

Duration: 5.0 days

Programming I

This Basic to Intermediate training course emphasis the core libraries and most useful libraries developed by the Python. Python drives businesses and is used by programmers as one of the most popular programming languages.

Programming II

Python continues to be a popular programming language, perhaps owing to its ability to get a lot of work done in few lines of code, and its versatility. Python is useful for developing custom software tools, applications, web services, and cloud applications. In this course, you'll build upon your basic Python skills, learning more advanced topics such as object-oriented programming patterns, development of graphical user interfaces, data management, threading, unit testing, and creating and installing packages and executable applications.

Objectives

Programming I

• Set up Python and develop a simple application.
• Declare and perform operations on simple data types, including strings, numbers, and dates.
• Declare and perform operations on data structures, including lists, ranges, tuples, dictionaries, and • Write conditional statements and loops.• Define and use functions, classes, and modules.
