About Course
Learn Python Programming Masterclass – Free Online Course
This free Python programming masterclass is designed to give you a solid foundation in Python programming, fast. Whether you want to build the skills you need to get your first Python programming job, move to a more senior software developer position, get started with Machine Learning, Data Science, Django or other hot areas that Python specializes in, or just learn Python to be able to create your own Python apps quickly, this course is for you.
This course is perfect for complete beginners who have never programmed before, as well as existing programmers who want to increase their career options by learning Python. Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, used by huge companies like Google in mission-critical applications like Google Search. It’s also the number one language choice for machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence. To get those high-paying jobs, you need expert knowledge of Python, and that’s what you will get from this course.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to apply in confidence for Python programming jobs. This course will teach you all the essential Python keywords, operators, statements, and expressions needed to fully understand exactly what you’re coding and why. You’ll also learn about object-oriented programming, tKInter (for building GUI Interfaces), using databases with Python, and more. We’ll also show you the difference between Python 2 and Python 3, so you understand how things work differently in each version.
This course is completely free and available on Theetay. It’s taught by Tim and Jean-Paul, who have over 70 years of combined professional programming experience. They’ll teach you industry best practices for Python programming that real employers demand. You’ll also get full support from the instructors, answering any questions you have 7 days a week.
