Description
Few programming languages provide you with the flexibility and pure power of Python, which is why many professionals recommend that beginner programmers learn Python first. Due to its relatively simple syntax and extensive degree of general-purpose use, it just makes sense to know. Python is commonly used for server-side programming for complex web apps or as a middle tier language providing web services or a communication layer with larger ecommerce systems. All that is to say you can do a lot with Python, and this course will show you just how much.- Access 76 lectures & 5.5 hours of content 24/7
- Explore some of Python's many libraries for everything from games & graphics to complex mathematics
