Description

Wanting to learn about Python, or programming in general? You have come to the right place!

Python is the most popular programming language. Part of the appeal is because how easy it is to carry out development in Python, and the large community support. It's no wonder that this a language with a significant demand, and average annual salary being $100,000.

It's a language used by many companies, such as Facebook, NASA, Amazon, Instagram, and many others. It is used in wide applications, across different business sectors, such as web development, programming, machine learning/AI, and data science.

This course will teach you the basics around computer programming. You will also learn how to code in Python using Spyder IDE. There are also quizzes to be taken to test your knowledge.

No prior knowledge in computer programming is required. Towards the end of the course, we will also learn how programmers automate their workload by using Windows Task Schedular. We will create a program and it will automatically run at its designated time.

Following topics will be covered:

Installing Anaconda and Python
Using Spyder IDE
Numbers
Strings
Variables
Casting
Conditions
Loops
Error handling
Working with APIs
Data frames
Writing to files
Using Windows Task Schedular

Who this course is for:

Beginners who have never programmed before
Users switching from another language over to Python
Folks that need to learn how to perform API calls in Python
