Python Programming Essentials: Beginner to Practical Developer
This short course is designed to help beginners build a strong foundation in Python programming through interactive learning, live coding, and practical examples. Participants will learn the core concepts required to write Python programs confidently and prepare for more advanced areas such as web development, automation, data science, and artificial intelligence.
Session 1: Python Fundamentals
Introduction to Python, installation and setup, writing the first program, variables, data types, operators, user input, and basic program structure.
Session 2: Decision Making and Loops
Conditional statements, logical operators, if-else, for and while loops, loop control statements, and solving simple programming problems.
Session 3: Working with Collections
Lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries, indexing, slicing, common collection operations, and practical data manipulation.
Session 4: Functions and Modular Programming
Creating and using functions, parameters, return values, scope, lambda functions, and using Python modules for code reusability.
Session 5: File Handling and Exception Handling
Reading and writing files, working with text data, handling runtime errors using exceptions, and building reliable Python programs.
Session 6: Object-Oriented Programming and Mini Project
Introduction to classes and objects, constructors, methods, basic inheritance, and developing a simple real-world mini project that integrates the concepts learned throughout the course.
