Python Basics – Online Training for Beginners

Ziel

1. Data types

• You will be working in your programming environment - the Data Lab - for the first time and executing your first code commands. You will first learn what data or texts are in Python.
• Using a set of rules, you will learn how to create, assign and test data in variables. You will then learn how to read common error messages and practise using them productively in your everyday work.
• You will get to know basic Python standard functions such as type() or str() and use them in application examples.
• Once you have become familiar with the if statement and can use it to link the execution of your code to conditions, you will conclude the chapter with the first part of a two-hour mini-project: you will program a user interface that reacts flexibly to user input.

2. Flow control

• You will learn to work with lists. This allows more flexibility when storing data and is an important prerequisite for advanced programming.
• You will use lists to extend the functionality of your user interface from the first chapter and thus complete the first mini-project.
• You will work with loops, which allow...you to automatically execute your code multiple times, taking you to the next level of programming.

3. Functions, modules, methods

• You will complete your programming skills in Python and learn the first advanced techniques. This includes functions and methods.
• You will learn to define functions independently and thus structure your code better. You will also combine individual programming elements such as conditions, loops and functions in programs.
• Using various methods, you will work out how to import Python modules in the correct notation and ensure overall functionality.
• You will learn how to import and export data as a simple test. You will use a one-hour mini-project with telephone data to consolidate what you have learned in the chapter.

4. Python applications

• You will learn what dictionaries are and how they make your code even more efficient. You will learn about complex data structures that you will need for your final project.
• In a four-hour practical project to create a complex user interface for the automated processing of customer inquiries, you will bring together all the content from the previous chapters.
