Python is a general purpose programming language that was explicitly designed to be highly readable, making it one of the ideal languages for beginner programmers. Despite the relative ease to learn, Python is an extremely powerful language, used in the creation of YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit, and commonly seen in machine learning, as well. Because Python has so many different uses, there are always many Python programming jobs available that pay very well. After this course, you’ll be well on your way to breaking into one of those jobs.

• Access 26 lectures & 6 hours of content 24/7
• Learn the basic structure of Python including Python’s data types & control flow constructs
• Write, debug & execute Python programs
• Describe & work w/ nested data types & exception handling
• Understand the basics of modules & object oriented programming in Python
• Use Python to work w/ files & the operating system

While it is one of the easier programming languages to learn, Python has such broad functionality that programs can rapidly escalate from beginner to advanced. This course confronts many of the advanced features of Python so you can enhance your Python knowledge and be eligible for more complicates, better-paying programming jobs. If you want to work in any programming field, you’re going to want to take this course.

• Access 26 lectures & 6 hours of content 24/7
