Introduction to Python 3 Training

Designed for students with little to no experience with programming languages, this course provides an introduction to Python, a high-level programming language which is quite user friendly. To begin, we'll explain how Python works, along with its benefits and uses, and how to get started with writing a simple script. From there, you'll learn how to work with strings and sequences, perform math operations and conditional processing, and collect user input and output results. You'll also learn how to write to and read from files, write functions, handle exceptions, and work with dates and times. This course is taught in Python 3. The differences between Python 2 and Python 3 are noted where they exist.
