Description
The mission of Python-1100 is to provide new software developers with a faster way to start enjoying the many benefits of using the Python programming language on-the-job. (*)
From using Python's core modules, collections, objects, and built-in functions in Python 1100 students will master concepts such as lambdas, sorting, enumerations, slicing, f-strings, comprehensions, reporting, and testing.
In as much as the Python standard is presently changing several time a year, the next mission of this Python 1100 course is to provide students with an on-line resource dedicated to keeping track of the latest programming features.
In keeping with that second mission, this educational opportunity covers Python's many recently added features & updates up to and including Python's new "walrus operator" as well as the "match case" keyword set.
By creating first class functions, command-lines, regressions tests, as well enjoying many new cross-platform DevOps Demonstrations, in Python 1100 students will learn how to get the most out of modern Python as rapidly, as well as responsibly, as possible.
After completing Python 1100, students will enjoy practicing what they have learned by completing our Python Missions training. Pythoneers will enjoy either Python 1500 and / or Python 1501.
In addition to completing the Python 1500 and 1501 Missions, learners interested in careers in the professional world will want to fine-tune their careers by completing our Python 2000 - 9000 educational opportunities as student time, interest, certification and / or occupational opportunities might require.
(*) Students who have never programmed before should consider enrolling in Python 1000: The Python Primer as well.
Who this course is for:
- Software developers looking to use Python 3.6 or greater
- Pythoneers who need to QUICKLY review what they have learned
- Python students looking for additional practice activities
- Professionals needing to start using Python's cross-platform power ... after a single day!
Instructor
Randall Nagy is a tenured "hands-on" manager, software development engineer, author, and designer / architect. Presently serving as a consulting Principal at Optum, Mr. Nagy has also served as a Principal Software Development Engineer at Informix (a major database company acquired by IBM,) as well as the Principal Trainer for Borland Software Corporation.
Mr. Nagy's "Linked In" recommendations testify to a 30+ year track record of excellent personal communication skills, design & analysis abilities, as well as superior consulting, coding, & training results.
Though tenured, Mr. Nagy is most often described as being authoritatively technical, yet very personable & easy to get along with.
The author of over 30 on-line Udemy titles and 50+ open source projects, Mr. Nagy's hands-on experience includes topics such as C/C++, Python, MicroPython, AWS, OAuth 2.o, SO / SOA, Security, Testing, UML, Java/JEE, .NET (C# and Visual Basic), LAMP, SQL, Hadoop, jQuery, PHP, HTML 5, Android, OOA/OOD, UML, DoDAF and more. Maintaining techniques in embedded engineering, Mr. Nagy has experience creating custom training for such expert-level, high-performance technologies as Modern C/C++, Apache Spark, and IBM Rhapsody.
Technically speaking, "... from the best Service-Oriented practices to embedded engineering, I maintain an extensive hands-on skill set. I have both designed and personally implemented architectures from the client to the server, well into the RFC Layer.
From writing for BYTE Magazine to books on Amazon, I have helped thousands of students master tough technical concepts. I hope you will like our training!"
