Course overview
Python is a language with a simple syntax and a powerful set of libraries. While it is easy for beginner programmers to learn, Python is widely used in many scientific areas for data exploration.
We cover data types, control flow, object-oriented programming, and graphical user interface-driven applications. We offer the course in a practical style, with many Python coding examples and problems drawn from diverse areas such as text processing, price calculations and password verifications.
