Spezialisierung - 3 Kursreihen

Python® is a versatile programming language that has many benefits for aspiring programmers and other industry professionals. Going beyond the basics of the language will help unlock significant capabilities for optimizing development time and incorporating robust program logic.

In this Specialization, you will apply intermediate-level concepts and skills associated with Python 3, including object-oriented programming, modules and packages, string manipulation, input/output operations, and more.

Übungsprojekt

In each module, you will apply the Python skills you learn by building a simple application through code. You will also improve the efficiency and reliability of that code using various programming techniques. You will save your work in source-code files that you can take with you once you've completed each course.
