Course Description

This Python course prepares teaches the fundamentals of Python. It shows how to interact with Python, the common data structures, looping, classes, exceptions, file handling, environments and more. This course contains 18 hours of materials, taught by Matt Harrison, a Python expert and author.

Following this course students will be able to leverage their skills with Python to build web backends, create GUI applications, do machine learning, and control cloud environments.

Most developers don’t know what they don’t know. Fill in the knowledge gaps and understand how Python works under the covers. You might have programmed in Python before, but you will come out of this class grokking the syntax, and what the syntax abstracts underneath. We will show how to install Python, use the REPL, and understand errors that might pop up.

This class has unique self-correcting labs to ensure that students are mastering the subject.
