Programming in Python

This course prepares the individual with universal computer programming concepts like data types, containers, functions, conditions, loops, as well as Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment. This course follows the requirements set by the PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer examination syllabus. As such, the learner may take the certification exam if he / she wishes - although sufficient practice is required.
