Python Essentials

This short course introduces students who are proficient in at least one programming language, such as C, R, Java or JavaScript, to the core elements of Python programming. Students learn to write clean code with Python’s built-in data types and control structures, while reinforcing best-practices, like unit testing, and fundamental principles of program design, including decomposition and abstraction. Practical, hands-on projects allow students to develop capacity for problem solving and sharpen their programming and object-oriented programming skills.
