Overview
The Python training course leads participants from the basics of writing and running Python scripts to more advanced features such as file operations, regular expressions, working with binary data, and using the extensive functionality of Python modules. Extra emphasis is placed on features unique to Python, such as tuples, array slices, and output formatting.
Objectives
At the end of Python training course, participants will be able to
Prerequisites
Participants should already be comfortable using the operating system (Linux, Unix, Windows, Solaris, macOS, etc.) on which they will be running Python. While not mandatory, basic skills with at least one other programming language are desirable.
