Course Description |
||
| This four day course leads the student 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. This is a hands-on programming class. All concepts are
reinforced by informal practice during the lecture followed by graduated
lab exercises. Python Programming is a practical introduction to a
working programming language, not an academic overview of syntax and
grammar. Students will immediately be able to use Python to complete
tasks in the real world.
Course Length: 4 Days
Course Tuition: $1290 (US) |

Pros
Easy to Learn:
The learning curve is very mild and the language is versatile and fast to develop.
Massive Libraries:
You can find a library for basically anything: from web development, through game development, to machine learning.
Do More with Less Code:
You can build prototypes and test out ideas much quicker in Python than in other language
|
Cons
Speed Limitations: It is an interpretive language and therefore much slower than compiled languages. Problems with Threading: Multi-threaded CPU-bound programs may be slower than single-threaded ones do to the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) that allows only one thread to execute at a time. Weak on Mobile: Although, there are a number or libraries that provide a way to develop for both Android and iOS using Python currently Android and iOS don’t support Python as an official programming language. |
