Matt Harrison
- Audience level:
- Novice
- Category:
- Python Core (language, stdlib, etc.)
Description
Are you new to Python and want to learn how to step it up to the next level?
Have you wondered about functional programming, closures, decorators, context
managers, generators, or list comprehensions and when you should use them and
how to test them? This hands-on tutorial will cover these intermediate subjects
in detail, by explaining the theory behind them then walking through examples.
Abstract
This carefully constructed course will take a programmer with a basic
understanding of Python to the next level. You should feel comfortable with
Python loops, variables, functions, and classes. From there we build your
knowledge and cover some of the more exciting aspects of Python that tend to
bite new Python programmers.
With a unique, fast-paced combination of lecture and lab, the student will not
only listen to the material, but try it out themselves. Students will have time
to try the labs, then we will discuss the solutions at length and learn
"idiomatic" Python.
