What you'll learn:
- Learn the basic syntax of Python programming language quickly and easily
- Solve practice exercises after each practical topic
- Implement the main Python operators: mathematical, logical, relational and conditional
- Create looping structures - "for" and "while" commands
- Learn how to implement functions
- Understand and implement the main Python collections, such as tuples, lists, dictionaries and sets
Python is one of the most used programming languages in the world and many companies are looking for developers who know it! It was created in 1991 by Guido van Rossum with the main objective of being simple and easy to learn, compared to other programming languages where the learning curve is much higher. Python language has gained a lot of popularity in recent years because it is suitable for many applications, such as: web development, artificial intelligence, data science, big data, computer graphics, among many others.
This free course was designed for those who are starting their studies in the Python programming language and do not have much time to take a bigger and more complete course. You will learn only the bases of this programming language. Take a look at the content that will be covered:
Python installation
Five main IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) to work with Python
Variables and constants
Math operations
Logical, relational and conditional operators
Loops, such as the "for" and "while" commands
Functions
Main collections, such as lists, dictionaries, tuples and sets
Practical exercises are provided at the end of each topic, so you can practice what you learned during the lectures. The solution for every task is available for you to compare with your own implementations! We will use Google Colab on-line for the development of the examples, ensuring that you will not have problems with software installations or configurations on your local machine.
