Course Overview

“Python is consistently ranked as one of the easiest programming languages to learn and is known for its high reliability and simple syntax.”

 

This course will provide you with an overview of the software development process in addition to introducing important programming constructs and methodologies while using Python as a focal point. As this is an introductory course, no pre-requisite qualifications are necessary, but any experience in Computing and particularly in Programming is advantageous.

This course is designed to meet the needs of candidates who are currently working in related fields and may want to up-skill or for those who wish to pursue entry-level roles in the ICT sector. This course is also ideal for those who wish to pursue further study in Computer Science.

Why Python Programming?

  • Average Python Developer salary is €80k
  • Python is set to be the most in-demand coding language in 2022
  • Python is considered one of the easiest, most powerful, and most versatile languages to learn

Python is easier to read, write, and learn than most other major programming languages.

Python has been in the public domain for 30 years and it has become a very common programming language. Used in a myriad of domains, from AI to web development, it is now one of the most popular languages used by development teams.

Python is an interpreted programming language. This means that unlike compiled languages like C++ or Java, you can run each line of code as soon as you finish writing it and see the results immediately. This is especially great for new programmers because you can get instantaneous feedback instead of waiting for the whole program to compile and run before you figure out if you there is an error in your code.
