Python Programming |
| ||
Python is a modern programming language that is both simple to learn and extremely powerful. That's why it is the leading programming language of Silicon Valley. In contrast to other languages such as Java or C++, Python is interpreted. In other words, your code will run as you type it - there is no compilation step. This makes the language especially suitable for cloud computing applications.
This course teaches students how to use the Python programming language to solve problems of gradually increasing complexity, ranging from simple calculations to file operations and object-oriented programming. Students are expected to already have computational thinking and essential programming skills from the Karel programming course.
