Description:
On this course students will learn the design philosophy and strengths of Python and run-time features assisting rapid development. You will be able to programme using loops, lists, variables and dictionaries. You will be able to use operators such as `and`, `in`, %, == and `is`. You will also be able to read and write data to files and use the % operator for string-formatting, be able to use existing Python modules and create new ones, use exceptions for error-handling and create Object-Oriented Python using the `class` keyword.
- Cost: Price on application
- Duration: 3 Days
