A Comprehensive Study of Basic (and many advanced) Skills Required by Any Python Developer

Course Description

Welcome to the brand new course in Python 3: Beginner to Pro! 📚✨

I set out to create this course with one core philosophy in mind: "Teach like I wish I had been taught". When I was learning Python, there were questions, doubts, and hesitations that I had, which I have addressed in this course through extensive quizzes and coding assignments. Learning to code is akin to learning to swim or ride a bicycle - you have to do it to master it. This course emphasizes hands-on experience, ensuring you understand the intricacies of Python by writing and debugging your own code.

A solid foundation is crucial for any new endeavor, and this course starts at a comfortable pace to lay that groundwork. While the initial segments may seem slow, this is intentional to ensure you have the necessary knowledge to tackle the more complex topics later on. Your feedback is invaluable; it allows me to refine the course content based on your experiences. Feel free to ask questions, and I'll be sure to address them promptly.

Here's a sneak peek into some of the topics we'll cover: 📈✨

1. Fundamentals: Data types, variables, operators, and conversions between data types.
2. Control Flow: Master for loops, while loops, and if-else branching with a clear understanding of different kinds of operators.
3. Functions: Explore parameters, arguments, return values, and various ways to handle function calls.
4. Advanced Functions: Dive into enumerate, map, filter, reduce, zip, lambda functions, closures, decorators, list and dictionary comprehensions, and more.
5. Modules and Packages: Learn how to use built-in modules and create your own reusable components.
6. Error Handling: Understand error handling with try-catch blocks and unit tests.
7. File Operations: Handle text, CSV, and JSON files effortlessly.
8. Regular Expressions (regex): Discover the power of regex to manipulate strings effectively.
9. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Gain a deep understanding of classes, instances, class attributes, instance methods, inheritance, and the concept of self.
10. Web Development with Python: Learn to use HTTP methods, send SMS using Twilio, set up a web server with Flask, create dynamic HTML websites with Jinja2 templates, connect to SQL databases, and incorporate Bootstrap4 in your projects.
11. Data Analysis: Get proficient with Numpy for basic and nD arrays, Pandas dataframes, data manipulation, groupby, conditional extraction, and visualization techniques using matplotlib and Seaborn.

This course is packed with knowledge, including ~80 quiz questions and ~35 programming exercises complete with solutions to help you test your understanding and reinforce your learning. 🎓✅
