Programming in Python

Content: The course introduces the scripting language Python. The lecture part deals with the basics of Python using simple examples to explain basic concepts of procedural and object-oriented programming.
Later parts of the lecture will give an insight into the use of advanced libraries and the actual processing and presentation of data, especially with the means of Jupyterlab.

After successful participation, students should be able to master important patterns of procedural and object-oriented programming and implement them in the Python programming language to develop their own programs. They should also gain basic knowledge in the use and functionality of libraries in the field of data processing and visualization.

Please note, the Course is offered in German.
