What you'll learn in this python class:

Introduction to Python Programming is an evening course specifically designed for working professionals who are looking to advance their career with 21st century skills.

In our Introduction to Python Programming course, we start with the complete basics - which are geared toward complete beginners to Python. Our live, instructor-led course emphasizes the foundations of Python coding for beginners in an engaging format that learners cannot find in online tutorials. This groundwork helps students gain an understanding of how to write their own code competently and efficiently.

During this workshop, we explain, in detail, everything you need to start using Python. We discuss how Python memory management works and the behavior of the basic built-in data types in the programming language. We also cover variables and built-in functions. We also explain how to create user-defined Python functions, and how to extract and analyze data from text files with Python.

The once-a-week format of this class lets students practice their coding skills over the week and then ask more questions at the next class. Students learn by solving real-life challenges that can strengthen their coding skills, which can be implemented after they leave the classroom.

Our goal is to help you succeed in the course and with your new, practical, real-world coding skills. We offer help from instructors who are happy to answer your coding questions even after the course ends. Also, if you feel that you need to repeat the course to gain a better understanding of Python principles, you can do so at no charge.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN

Pillars of programming: Python built-in data types
Mutability and behavior of different data structures
Control flow statements: If, Elif and Else statements
Definite and Indefinite loops: For and While loops
Writing user-defined functions in Python
How to read and write text files with Python
Manipulating data with Python

Prerequisites & Preparation:

Question from Libby S.

Hello - Prior to taking this course are there any supplementary readings that would be helpful for getting familiar with the language of programming/the topics discussed in this class?

Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff

Hi Libby! Introduction to Python is for people who have never coded before. Students will start from scratch and even discuss how to install and run Python, hence no supplementary readings necessary in taking this class. Hope this helps!

Great class. Very informative. Highly recommended!

Overall very happy wit the course. The third class became very confusing and hard to keep up. The instructor tried to touch all the materials that perhaps was too much for one class.

Great class to get started with python. Pros - We covered a lot in only three lessons. (Taking your time to go over the notes and exercises afterwards is imperative if you want to learn). -Art and Tim were great teachers who were happy to answer any questions and are very knowledgable. -There was a snowstorm on the night of my second class, and I couldn't make it from work in time. Art let me move to the next cohort with no dramas at all. -Art is always available for questions, he got back to me within minutes whenever I asked him about something. Cons - This may not even be a con, but we jumped straight into the language and syntax. If you are a complete beginner to coding, you'll need to go over what a terminal is, what a shell is, and how enter things in the command line. I had dabbled a bit on Codecademy, but never really attempted to code for real and this was a bit disorienting at first. About 20 min of googling after the first class had me up to speed though. Overall a great class and would totally recommend if you want to start learning python.

A good entry level class, a lot of material is covered and the potential of Python is clear. There were 2 professor, one much better than the other, both really nice guys and willing to give personal attention. The class could have been better structured and better paced. I liked that they do allow time for students to work on programs so a person can tell if they are getting it, this actually did not happen much in the third class and I could tell not many people were getting the material.

Reviewed by Pammela S. on 10/4/2018

Art is terrific and very patient. He knows his material and stops to be sure all are following along. I would highly recommend this class to people interested in learning Python from scratch.
