| Practical Python Programming by @dabeaz | This course is about you writing Python code, not watching someone else. | Click to openFrom their website:What is This? The material you see here is the heart of an instructor-led Python training course used for corporate training and professional development. It has been in continual development since 2007 and battle tested in real-world classrooms. Usually, it’s taught in-person over the span of three or four days–requiring approximately 25-35 hours of intense work. This includes the completion of approximately 130 hands-on coding exercises. Target Audience: Students of this course are usually professional scientists, engineers, and programmers who already have experience in at least one other programming language. No prior knowledge of Python is required, but knowledge of common programming topics is assumed. Most participants find the course challenging–even if they’ve already been doing a bit of Python programming. Course Objectives: The goal of this course is to cover foundational aspects of Python programming with an emphasis on script writing, data manipulation, and program organization. By the end of this course, students should be able to start writing useful Python programs on their own or be able to understand and modify Python code written by their coworkers. Requirements To complete this course, you need nothing more than a basic installation of Python 3.6 or newer and time to work on it. What This Course is Not: This is not a course for absolute beginners on how to program a computer. It is assumed that you already have programming experience in some other programming language or Python itself. This is not a course on web development. That’s a different circus. However, if you stick around for this circus, you’ll still see some interesting acts–just nothing involving animals. This is not a course for software engineers on how to write or maintain a one-million line Python application. I don’t write programs like that, nor do most companies who use Python, and neither should you. Delete something already! |
