Learning track content

Module 1 / Introduction to Python

In this section, you will explore the fundamentals of Python, get acquainted with your workspace, perform simple math operations, and display your findings.

In this section, you'll discover how to save items such as numbers and text in computer memory and retrieve them by name. Additionally, you'll gain an introduction to text manipulation in Python.

In this section, you'll explore the boolean data type and learn how it is used to develop programs that react to certain conditions.

In this section, you will continue learning about data types and discover how to organize various attributes in a single variable using lists, tuples, and dictionaries.

In this section, you'll learn how to create loops in Python — an essential skill for iterating through lists, tuples, and dictionaries.

To conclude this introductory course, you will explore some built-in functions and then begin to develop your own!

Module 2 / Python Data Structures

What is a list? A list is an ordered collection that can be modified. It also allows for duplicate elements.

What is a dictionary? A dictionary is an ordered collection that can be changed, but it doesn't allow duplicate entries. It consists of key:value pairs, which are used to optimize its structure.

What is a tuple? A tuple is an ordered collection that cannot be altered. It can have duplicate elements. While it's similar to a list, the values in a tuple can be of any type and are indexed by integers. Although not mandatory, it's common to enclose the values of a tuple in parentheses, making them easier to understand in Python.

What is a set? In Python, a set is an unordered collection that is both iterable and mutable, with no repeated elements. While the order of items in a set isn't fixed, it can include a variety of elements. A key benefit of using sets over lists is their highly efficient method for determining if an element exists within the set.

Module 3 / Python Loops Tutorial

Master how to iterate through sequences with for loop, use range() effectively, explore conditions with if/else, and control loops with break and continue. Get ready to write efficient, clean, and practical code as you tackle fun challenges!

Get hands-on experience with the while loop! Learn how to handle conditions, avoid infinite loops, control flow with break and continue, and even combine else with your loops. Master when to use while loops effectively in real-world scenarios and sharpen your problem-solving skills!

Learn how to combine loops effectively, use if/else conditions, and master break and continue statements to control flow. By the end, you'll be able to solve complex problems with ease and precision.

Streamline your Python code with list and dictionary comprehensions! Learn how to create lists and dictionaries in a concise and elegant way while improving readability and performance. Master practical examples and discover how to simplify complex tasks, from filtering data to transforming it, all in a single line of code.

Module 4 / Python Functions Tutorial

Explore what functions are and why they're essential in Python. Learn how to create functions, define arguments, handle return values, and use built-in functions effectively.

Learn how positional and optional arguments work in Python. Build adaptable functions that handle different inputs and improve flexibility in your code.

Understand how to work with arbitrary and keyword arguments to handle variable input sizes. Learn how these techniques make your functions more dynamic and organized.

Discover how return values represent a function's output. Learn to return single or multiple values, use None, and explore generators for more advanced data flow control.

Unlock advanced function concepts with recursion and lambda functions. Learn how recursion solves repetitive problems and how lambda expressions create concise, one-line functions.

Module 5 / Object-Oriented Programming in Python

Learn the core building blocks of object-oriented programming in Python. This section covers classes, objects, methods, and variables, giving you a solid base to understand how OOP organizes and structures code.

Explore how classes can share and extend functionality. You'll learn different inheritance patterns, from simple hierarchies to multiple inheritance and abstract classes, and see how they enable code reuse and scalability.

Discover how to build flexible systems by combining objects. Instead of relying only on inheritance, you'll see how composition lets you assemble behaviors in a modular, adaptable way.

Understand how different objects can share a common interface while behaving in their own way. This section shows how method overriding, interfaces, and protocols make your code more dynamic and reusable.

Learn how to safeguard internal data and control access to class attributes. You'll explore private attributes, getters and setters, and data-hiding techniques that keep your classes secure and maintainable.
