Python® Basics
Description
This Python® training course leads the students from the basics of writing and running Python® scripts to more advanced features such as file operations, regular expressions, error handling, system and network programming and the use of the extensive functionality of Python® modules.
All concepts are explained through hands-on examples and exercises, so students learn by coding in Python®. The training is intended for entry-level programmers or those moving to python from other programming languages.
Python® is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains, including telecom. Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl®, Ruby, Scheme or Java®.
