Introduction to Python Programming

This basic Python programming training teaches participants the skills they need to design, build, and test console-based object-oriented applications using various data structures, file IO, exception handling and debugging.

After completing this 2-day Python programming training, participants should be able to:

• Understand the use of Python Language Constructs and built in Python functions.
• Use data structures like Lists, Dictionaries, Tuples etc.
• Use control statements like if, while, for, range, break and continue etc.
• Create user defined functions. Passing parameters. Use of Global and return statement.
• Create modules, use of namespace, loading modules, creating package, using built in modules etc.
• Perform File I/O operations (read/write, search for data from input files).
• Understand and use Object oriented concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, multiple inheritance.
• Understand the role of exceptions, built in exceptions, creating and working with exception handling.
• Use the built-in tools like debugger and distribution utilities.
