Practical Programming in Python

Python is a general purpose computer programming language with support for OOP. Development of Python began in late 1989 by Guido van Rossum, then at CWI (Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica,
the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science) in the Netherlands. It was
eventually released for public distribution in early 1991. Numerous contributors have helped develop a rich set of modules for python which make it one of the preferred languages of choice, be it a hobbyist, scientist or an engineer.

Today python is being used in the web development, bio-informatics, system administration,embedded systems, networking and many more sectors of the industry. This course work helps youbuild programming skills in python in a systematic manner.

Here in Mindful Learning India, we believe that learning a programming language should help you think differently and creatively. A language should be a medium of expressing your creativity. We think that in an era of computers, not knowing how to program a computer is a serious technical handicap for a person aspiring for jobs in the industry. Therefore, this course is designed to make laymen into a confident programmers.

Contrary to the idea that learning to program is difficult, we think that programming computers is easy, fun and thought provoking, provided you follow some important tips and techniques which this course work offers.

It noteworthy that, today, programming skill is always an added plus for any student, fresher or professional wanting to progress in their jobs and careers. Having programming in python as one of your skills set and competency is surely a powerful tool in your hands.
