OOP (Python)

Catalog description

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity, object oriented application, and code reuse. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) refers to using self-contained pieces of code to develop applications. IT Professionals call these self-contained pieces of code objects, better known as Classes in Python. IT Professionals use objects as building blocks for scripting and applications which allows us to adopt some valuable techniques. In this course students will build their understanding of Python piece by piece starting with the basics and work into algorithms, standard libraries, GUI development, and generators. At the end of this course students will be fully proficient in python having covered advanced python development as well as parallel and concurrent programming.
