Python Programming 2 [STA_PYP2]

OVERVIEW

Python Programming 2 Course Overview

The Python Programming 2 course comprises sessions dealing with advanced object orientation,iterators and generators,comprehensions,decorators,multithreading,functional programming,web services,and unit testing.

The delegate will learn how to exploit advanced features of the Python language to build complex and efficient applications.

Similarly,the course is targeted to closely follow the official Python Institute curriculum for certification.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

OBJECTIVES

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to interpret,write,and troubleshoot complex Python applications exploiting inheritance and polymorphism,mixins,composition and aggregation,iterators,generators,decorators,comprehension,concurrency,functional programming,and RESTful web services.

AUDIENCE

Who will the Course Benefit?

The Python Programming 2 course is designed for existing Python developers who have a good grounding in the basics and want to exploit some of the advanced features of the language.

For the delegate for whom Python is their first programming language,we recommend taking the Python Programming 1 course first,then taking some time to practice the skills gained,before returning to take the Python Programming 2 course.
