Python programming training course

Python Programming

Details

Python is a popular and easy-to-learn language with applications in Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Software development and more. Python is a very high-level object-oriented programming language which is used extensively as a web programming language, and cross-platform graphical user interface. It is also a scripting language for system administration, GIS packages and engineering software. Python is relatively easy to learn and eliminates much of the boilerplate code that many comparable languages require. Python allows the programmer to choose between programming paradigms: imperative and object oriented, procedural and functional.

This course covers the Python programming language from first principles to advanced concepts in functional programming and object-oriented design. This course is a great option for anyone who needs to gain a broad understanding of Python and gain real-world programming skills.

Add me to the waiting list

Should you need this course urgently, the following options are available:

Pay for 6 delegates (whether you have them or not) and we will schedule the course as soon as possible.
If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
