Students can pursue a career as an entry-level Python programmer. Python programmers write code for various applications, including big data manipulation, web servers, program scripting, and more. You can find work in web or game development, data visualization, and analyzing data, among others. Your job duties vary based on your specialization, but they usually include working with files and extensive support libraries, creating, testing and implementing new or updated applications, and examining the code to spot problems.​​ This comprehensive program covers introductory through advanced methods of Python and gets students coding quickly. Students start by learning the basics of programming, how Python works, and gaining an understanding of Python’s place in the wider programming world. More advanced methods are covered next, including how to work with the iPhone Notebook, the Collections Module, regular expressions, databases, CSV files, JSON, and XML. Students will also learn advanced sorting, how to write object-oriented code in Python, and how to test and debug Python code. Additionally, students get a rapid introduction to NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib, which are Python libraries.​ Since this course is delivered completely online, students will need to have the self-discipline to complete all required material on their own. A course instructor will be available to assist students with questions and to lead online activities during the course of the class.​​
