Introduction to Programming with Python

Overzicht

Though Python® has been in use for more than 30 years, it has become one of the most popular languages for software development, particularly within the fields of data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and web development—all areas in which Python is widely used. Whether you're relatively new to programming, or have experience in other programming languages, this Specialization will provide you with a comprehensive first exposure to the Python programming language.

This can serve as a quick start in Python, or as the foundation for further learning. You will learn elements of the Python 3 language and development strategies by creating a complete program that performs a wide range of operations on a variety of data types, structures, and objects; implements program logic through conditional statements and loops; structures code for reusability through functions, classes, and modules; reads and writes files; and handles error conditions.

Note:

This Specialization requires that you use the provided virtual machine, which includes an installation of Python. The course setup instructions provided in the first course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
