Course Description

Explore the possibilities of Python programming. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced tech enthusiast, our Programming with Python course will provide you with a valuable foundation in object-oriented programming.

Python is an excellent language to learn because of its readability, versatility and extensive community support. Its simple syntax makes it beginner-friendly, while its applications span web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence and more, offering you a solid foundation for various career paths in technology. 

Building on concepts and practice from CPRG-100 Introduction to Python Programming, this 18-hour instructor-led virtual course introduces you to the powerful capabilities of the Python language. You'll learn the object-oriented concepts of classes and objects as well as database access, networking, multi-threading and GUI (graphical user interface) design. 

By the end of this course, you'll have the foundational skills in Python to work on your own personal or work-related programming projects. Python's widespread application makes it an essential skill for individuals across different fields. Use your newly acquired Python skills as a robust foundation for further exploration into programming and technology. Want to learn how to apply basic data science techniques using Python?
