About Course
Python is the simplest programming language in the world. But at the same time, Python is a powerful tool with which you can solve a huge range of different tasks, from file processing to machine learning, data processing, creating games and creating web applications.
Thus, having learned Python, you can choose a profession from a wide range of vacancies, or use Python to create your own applications and solve your own problems.
This course includes many practice problems as well as self-paced problems.
Python is an object-oriented programming language.
Python is also a language with a lot of features, but in order to KNOW how to write Python code, you need to UNDERSTAND the key concepts of Python.
What Will You Learn?
- You will learn the basic principles of Python and study all the main functions that are used most often in real projects and are most in demand
- You will practice all the examples that I will show throughout the course using the Python interpreter, Visual Studio Code with Code Runner
- You will learn the basic functionality of Python, ranging from variables, lists, dictionaries to classes, loops, modules and creating virtual environments
- In addition, you will learn to use functional and object-oriented approaches to programming in Python
