Course description
Python for Beginners - Level 3 Course
The Python for Beginners – Level 3 Course is designed for students wanting to get started with this high-level general-purpose programming language. Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first time programmer or you're experienced with other languages.
Python's easy-to-learn syntax facilitates high-readability, reducing the cost of program maintenance, and supports modules and packages, which encourages modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and extensive library are available completely free of charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed. Although Python’s clear and simple syntax makes it the perfect beginners’ language, it has all of the power and flexibility of a complex object-oriented programming language. Using the proven learn-by-example technique, we take you step-by-step through the Python language by introducing you to a number of interesting games.
