Overview
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language with a simple syntax and cross-platform support. Python is extensible and new built-in modules are easily written in C or C++.
This course provides a hands-on introduction to Python. The workshops are based on real-world examples of Python applications.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Write, debug and execute Python code
- Understand Python's powerful regular expressions
- Use Python to manipulate files and directories
- Write networked and web-enabled applications in Python
- Create graphical interfaces with TkInter
Audience
This course is for programmers, testers, web developers and system administrators who wish to use the Python programming language in their environment.
Prerequisites
Participants are expected to be familiar with at least one other programming language and to have some knowledge of HTML.
