Python® is one of the most widely used languages in software development today, particularly within the fields of data science, machine learning, and web development. Seasoned programmers and new programmers alike can apply Python skills to accomplish many different business goals. Python is an excellent choice of language for most professionals, and it's especially valuable as a first language for anyone wanting to get into programming.
In this Specialization, you will apply the fundamentals of the Python 3 language and create simple scripts that process data types and structures; interact with the user; perform tasks based on decision-making logic; structure code for reuse; and handle errors.
This Specialization is also designed to assist students in preparing for the Python Institute's PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer (PCEP-30-02) credential.
Note: This Specialization requires that you use the provided virtual machine, which includes an installation of Python. The course setup instructions provided in the first course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
Applied Learning Project
In each module, you will apply the Python skills you learn by building a simple application through code. You will also improve the efficiency and reliability of that code using various programming techniques. You will save your work in source-code files that you can take with you once you've completed each course.
