Introduction to Python 3 days (32 hours)

Audience: Previous programming experience is required.

Description: Python is a versatile language, used for everything from web development to data science to DevOps. This course provides a solid foundation for experienced teams beginning to use Python.

Since programming experience is assumed, this course will cover basic syntax quickly and spend significant time on Pythonic best practices. While even beginners can write code that runs, learning Python properly results in much shorter, cleaner code.

This course will alternate between short lectures and exercise sessions, so that students leave with both theoretical and hands-on understanding. All slides, exercises and solutions will be available online afterwards for further practice.
