Introduction to Programming with Python
Python is the ideal language for getting started in programming because of its quickly learnable syntax. This practical course offers a comprehensive insight into Python 3 and focuses on hands-on work with the computer. The aim is to learn the essential techniques and the ideas behind them by means of numerous illustrative examples. Solutions to typical problems are worked out step by step.
The participants learn the program development with Python and especially the application of concepts of object-oriented programming in a practice-oriented way. Projects that have been started in the computer lab can be further developed at home. There are exercises to prepare for the exam.
Please note, the Course is offered in German.
