| Inhalt | In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of the Python programming language, along with programming best practices. You’ll learn to represent and store data using Python data types and variables and use conditionals and loops to control the flow of your programs. You’ll harness the power of complex data structures like lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples to store collections of related data. You’ll define and implement your custom functions, test their accuracy, and handle errors. Lastly, you’ll learn to use modules in the Python Standard Library and other third-party libraries, as well as object-oriented programming with Python. In the exercise sessions, you will receive exercises about the topic of the day's lecture. You will be working on the exercises during the session and will receive guidance and feedback. |
| Lernziele | By the end of this course, students will know both fundamental programming concepts and the Python programming language. Students will be able to develop their own Python code to automatically solve complex real world problems. This course is dedicated to core Python skills that will give you a solid base and allow you to pursue any further direction: using Python in academic and research projects, in data science, or a career as a developer. This course will prepare you for the successive "Advanced Python for the Humanities" course offered in the spring semesters. |
