IEEE North Jersey Section Course: Introduction To Python Programming
Sept 29 through Nov 10, 2018. Seven weekly classes, Saturday Mornings.
IEEE North Jersey Section is offering a course entitled "Introduction To Python Programming".
Python Programming has gained enormous popularity in many different domains. These range
from corporate information system applications, data science, general scripting, web and
micro-services design. Many Python programmers are currently working on all types of
commercial projects in the world, ranging from embedded systems, to restful web apps, to
mainframe data-warehouse access. If you work in information technology, you must know
at least one general purpose programming language that has many different domains of use.
Since it is similar to other modern scripting and object oriented languages, it is an
easy transition for most programmers. This course is for anyone, even those with limited
programming experience. The participants will be provided the necessary software and
materials to get started. Students are expected to bring laptops onto which the required
software must be loaded for doing class exercises and assignments. Introductory
familiarity with Python syntax for logic, control flow and built in types and data
structures is eequired. The course objective is to provide a basic overview of the most
common language features and their use to apply in a scripting environment for daily
information processing tasks. It will give participants a starting point for more advanced
learning in domain specific areas.
IEEE Certificate of Completion (2 CEU - Continuing Education Unit) are available for
separate purchase on the last course day. This course is a great value for the number
of instructional hours and registration fee.
