Begin with Python basics and its high-level, object-oriented nature; learn that the interpreter is written in C and explore its scope in AI, machine learning, databases, and networking on Linux.
Write a Python program in Windows, edit it with your preferred editor, and run it using various options such as IDEs and the Windows terminal.
Explore the Raspberry Pi CPU and BCM2837 SoC with Cortex-A53 cores, enabling multi-core, low-power embedded computing and Linux-based prototyping for IoT.
Explore Linux OS overview for embedded systems, detailing the flexible open-source kernel, layered architecture, kernel responsibilities (process and memory management, file systems, networking, interrupts), and wide driver support.
Explore the embedded side of Python programming on Raspberry Pi, enable SSH, access the Pi from a host PC, and learn how Linux enhances embedded systems.
Note: in other programming languages like C, the variable is declared with a data type, and it can store only specified data type, But in Python a variable can store any data type during execution of the program.
Explore Python operators in this studio session, covering arithmetic, comparison, assignment, and bitwise operators, with practical examples of division, floor division, modulo, and equality and relational operators.
Explore how assignment operators and bitwise operators work in Python, highlighting differences from relational operators, with practical examples of shifts and other bitwise operations.
Explore Python if statements for flow control on Raspberry Pi, using true/false branches, elif chains, and else, with indentation and practical input examples including numbers and strings.
Demonstrate embedded Python programming on Raspberry Pi: if-else flow control with nested conditions, using input, print, and indentation to evaluate numbers and color choices like red, green, blue, and white.
Explore function concepts in Python, defining user functions with parameters and return values, and leveraging built-in and imported functions to improve modularity and code reuse.
Explore defining and reusing functions in python to compute areas (circle, rectangle, triangle), convert inputs with built-ins, and call functions across modules for modular, maintainable code.
Explore the fundamentals of loops in Python on Raspberry Pi, covering while and for loops, range usage, infinite loops, and break and continue statements with practical examples.
Learn strings in Python on Raspberry Pi, including indexing from zero, measuring length, looping through characters, string immutability, and upper, lower, and format operations.
Explore Python string operations on Raspberry Pi, including upper and lower case conversions, in and not in substring checks, the format and replace operators, and splitting strings into lists.
Learn Python file handling on Raspberry Pi by opening, reading (whole or line by line), writing, and closing files, with modes and the internal locator that points to data.
Learn file reading in embedded Python on Raspberry Pi: open the file, loop over lines, print them, count lines, and reset the pointer with seek.
Open a file, read its entire contents with the read function, print the data, and close the file, learning essential file handling and preparing for further read operations.
Learn to open a file, write lines with the write operation, and manage content—overwriting in write mode or reading the file line by line or as a whole; finally close.
In this course, you will be learning Python and Embedded concepts using RPI. This is a beginners to intermediate course, and helps student/junior professionals to understand the concepts and handle individual projects.

Q. What method is used to teach programming?
A. Most of the concepts are taught using practical programs.
Q. What is the outcome of this course?
A. After finishing this course you will be able to write programs in python, build small projects using Windows/Linux. After understanding the basics of python, you can choose any technology that you wish to expertise that is built using Python.
Python programming can be used in different technologies like Machine Learning, Web Development, Cloud Computing, scripting, Embedded systems development and many others.
Q. Will this be helpful for Advanced Level Python Programming?
A. This course teaches only from basics to intermediate programming on Python. This will be helpful for students to self-learn the advanced topics once the basics are clear.
