The Python Developer
The Python Developer Course is designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of Python programming and prepare them for the PCAP – Certified Associate Certification exam. During the course, participants will gain a solid understanding of Python basics, including syntax, control structures, functions, classes and objects, modules and packages, exception handling, and best practices. The course covers a wide range of topics, such as handling variables, data types and operations, using control structures such as loops and conditions, creating and using functions, and handling exceptions. Additionally, participants will learn to use classes and objects to create object-oriented programs, leverage modules and packages to organize and reuse code, and apply Python programming best practices. The course combines theoretical lectures, practical exercises and laboratories to ensure that participants have a comprehensive understanding of Python and its applications. The course contributes to the preparation of the PCAP Associate Python Programming Certification exam .
