Why Python?

Python is a programming language that has deservedly become extremely popular in recent years. Particularly in data processing, it is the dominant language because engineering tasks often overlap with Data Science tasks.

Unlike Java, Python is easier to learn, and therefore, it often becomes the first programming language for beginners.

What You Will Learn

The instructor Amit Jain will provide you with a basic understanding of Python:

  • What Python is and how to perform simple mathematical operations with it
  • What strings are and why they are useful
  • How to use variables, logical (boolean) expressions, and loops
  • How to reuse code with functions
  • What lists, dictionaries, and modules are
  • How to work with JSON and CSV file formats
  • And, of course, how to write clean and understandable code in Python
