Introduction to Python 3 Training (PYT138)

This Python training course offers a comprehensive introduction to Python, a versatile programming language widely used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. Designed for beginners and those looking to deepen their understanding, this course covers everything from basic syntax to advanced topics like object-oriented programming, file handling, and working with data.

The course begins with Python Basics, where you will get familiar with the terminal, run Python scripts, and create simple programs. You'll learn about literals, variables, constants, and writing Python modules, along with practical exercises to get you starting writing Python code yourself.

Next, you'll explore Functions and Modules, learning how to define functions, manage variable scope, and use parameters. You'll also delve into module importing and the differences between methods and functions through hands-on exercises.

The Math module introduces arithmetic operators, assignment operators, and Python's built-in math functions. You'll also explore the math and random modules and solve practical exercises such as calculating the number of pizzas needed or creating a dice-rolling simulator.

In the Python Strings module, you'll learn string manipulation techniques, including indexing, slicing, concatenation, and formatting. You'll also understand the immutability of Python strings, explore common string methods, and use formatted string literals (f-strings) for dynamic text.

The module on Iterables: Sequences, Dictionaries, and Sets covers working with lists, tuples, ranges, dictionaries, and sets. You'll practice using Python’s built-in functions and learn to manipulate and transform various data collections.

The Virtual Environments, Packages, and pip module will guide you through creating and managing isolated development environments, installing packages, and working with virtual environments in Python, ensuring efficient dependency management.

Flow Control introduces you to conditional statements, loops, and control flow mechanisms like if, else, for, and while loops. You'll learn to use advanced constructs like break, continue, and the enumerate() function, mastering control over your program's flow.

Exception Handling covers error management in Python. You'll learn about exception basics, handling multiple exceptions, and using try, except, else, and finally clauses. Exercises will help you understand raising and managing exceptions effectively.

The Python Dates and Times module teaches you how to work with date and time data using Python’s time and datetime modules. You'll learn to manipulate date and time objects, format strings, and perform calculations based on time intervals.

In File Processing, you'll learn to handle files, including opening, reading, writing, and manipulating them using Python. You'll explore the os module for file operations and practice exercises to manage files efficiently.

The course also covers PEP8 and Pylint, helping you write clean, readable, and maintainable code by following Python's style guide and using linting tools to check for errors and enforce coding standards.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in Python programming, enabling you to build applications, manipulate data, and automate tasks effectively. You'll be prepared to tackle advanced Python topics and apply your skills in diverse professional environments.
