Module 1 : Course Introduction, Intro to Programming and The Python Language, Variables, Conditionals, Jupyter Pocket book, and IDLE

This primary module covers an intro to programming and the Python language.

We’ll begin by downloading and putting in the required instruments to start programming and writing code in Python. After studying easy methods to print to the console, we’ll get an understanding of Python’s fundamental knowledge varieties, and easy methods to do simple arithmetic. We’ll comply with up by creating our first Python script, and learn to outline and assign variables, whereas controlling the circulate of our program utilizing conditionals. We’ll additionally learn to get enter from the person, together with some very fundamental error checking. Let’s get began!

Module 2 : Intro to Lists, Loops, and Capabilities

We’ll begin this module with a quick intro to lists, certainly one of Python’s mostly used knowledge constructions. We’ll study simply sufficient to get us began with loops, that are used to repeat a course of or run a block of code a number of occasions. We’ll get into capabilities, that are blocks of organized code used to carry out a single, associated motion. We’ll evaluation a few of Python’s built-in capabilities and learn to design our personal user-defined capabilities to make use of as constructing blocks in our personal applications. Alongside the best way, we’ll study finest practices for documenting our code for two totally different audiences: The customers who’re utilizing our code and wish to perceive it at a excessive degree, and the programmers who’re studying it and wish to know the way it works.

Module 3 : Extra with Lists, Strings, Tuples, Units, and PyCharm

On this module, we’re going to start out utilizing PyCharm, one other IDE for writing and operating Python code. It has enhanced options that go approach past the restricted performance of IDLE, and it’s additionally an business customary. After revisiting lists, together with extra superior utilization of the generally used sequence, we’ll take a deep dive into two different essential knowledge constructions : units and tuples. We’ll find out how they are often leveraged to each retailer and manipulate data. And whereas we have already got some expertise working with strings, this module will discover the intricacies and extra highly effective performance of strings.

Module 4 : Dictionaries and Recordsdata

There are a number of methods of loading and storing knowledge in Python. Data might be saved in dictionaries, a knowledge construction that’s extraordinarily helpful for storing a number of attributes (or knowledge factors) a few single factor. Information can be saved in exterior information after which loaded into Python. This module will permit us to work with dictionaries in a wide range of methods and to work together with the native file system by opening, studying from, and writing to, exterior information. With these added abilities, you’ll start to get a greater sense of the dynamic energy of Python and the way it may be simply built-in with different programs.
