COURSE DETAILS

The objective of this course is to familiarize a learner with basic computer programming concepts like data types, containers, functions, loops, conditional statements. It also covers Python programming language syntax and semantics with hands-on coding exercises over the Python runtime environment.

Learning Outcomes:
On completion, a learner should be able to

Work with an integrated development environments (IDEs) for developing Python code
Write code in Python languages for solving basic problems
Understand and interpret Python code written by other programmers

After completing this course the learner should be able to attain PCEP (Python Certified Entry Level Programmer) certification from Python Institute.
