About this Program
Python is a great language for beginning programmers, but it also has the power and flexibility to run major websites like Pinterest and Dropbox. This versatility allows developers to use Python to create stand-alone scripts and web applications as well as do backend development on a larger scale.
Many programmers choose Python as their first language because of its popularity, active and diverse developer community as well as its ease of application. In addition, Python can be applied in a variety of different ways to support game development, website creation, tool development, process automation, scientific programming, data visualization, data analytics and data science.
In this three-course certificate program, you'll gain a thorough understanding of the major Python libraries as well as practice standard programming styles and idioms. We'll explore different aspects of network-based programming with Python, including web applications, and dig into larger systems development issues and advanced topics. We'll also cover unit testing, coding style and Python PEP8 compliance to learn the best practices for writing Python code.
