Course Objectives
Python is a simple, yet powerful programming language to learn the basics of computer programming. According to a recent Stack Overflow survey, it is one of the most demanded and used programming languages in the industry. Python is actively used in a variety of areas including data science, machine learning, web applications, computer vision, etc.
This course is designed to teach the fundamentals of Python programming. While this course will mostly cover the core programming concepts, such as variables, string operations, conditions, etc., other advance topics such as object-oriented programming and data structures will be also introduced.
After this course, you are expected to have solid knowledge of Python and develop computer applications independently.
Course Content
General structure of a Pascal program, data types, variables, standard functions, subprograms, selection statements, loops, text files, user-defined data types, records, pointers, dynamic data structures.
