"Course Description
Python is developed under an OSI-approved open source license, making it freely usable and distributable, even for commercial use. Python is a general-purpose programming language. Created nearly 30 years ago, it is now one of the most popular languages out there to use. Its popularity is particularly important in the data science and machine learning fields. But it is also a language that is easy to learn, and that is why it has become the language most taught in universities.
Python interpreters are available for the main operating systems as well (Linux, Mac OS, Windows, Android, iOS, BSD, etc.) so it’s very flexible in where it is used. Python has a simple syntax that makes it suitable for learning to program as a first language. The learning curve is smoother than other languages such as Java, which quickly requires learning about Object Oriented Programming or C/C++ that require understanding pointers. Still, it’s possible to learn about OOP or functional programming in Python when the time comes.
Where is Python used?
Web Development, using the frameworks Django, Flask, Pylons
Data Science and Visualization using Numpy, Pandas and Matplotlib
Machine learning with Tensorflow and Scikit-learn
Desktop applications with PyQt, Gtk, wxWidgets and many more
Mobile applications using Kivy or BeeWare
Education: Python is a great language to learn to programming!
How much can you make?
The average salary for a Python Developer in the UK is £67,500 per year (source: itjobswatch.co.uk, UK Only.).
This course will teach you and show you the basics of Python programming. We will go over concepts like loops, variables, operators, syntax and coding practices. With each module, we will build upon your knowledge from the previous module. This reinforces all the concepts along the way and at the end of some modules you will work on exercises to prove to yourself you can do this.
