Learn How to Develop Applications in Python

Why Python and why Python 3 Python has been around for quite some time now. It has become a widely used programming language very popular with machine learning for example. In this course, we will teach you to start using the language, but jump really fast to more complex examples. Hence, if you are not familiar with Python, maybe you should consider looking into Practical Python 3.6 - Learn to Program using Python. INSIDE Module 1 (Module 1 will be available online on Monday, the last changes are incorporated) Why Python and why Python 3 Introduction to Python programming language Python 3 and why you should use it Why Python is widely used (machine learning, etc.) Hands On Install python 3 Install and use virtualenv Right tools for development Editors PEP8 Pylint Testing and TDD Skills acquired after module 1: A better understanding of the language, including how to install it.
