Learn the basics
of programming
with Python

Interested in learning a computer programming language but unsure where to begin? Our Intro to Programming course is a great place to start!

Authored and taught by experts in the field, this course is for beginners and open to anyone who wants to learn the basics of programming with Python in a more flexible and convenient format.

Why learn Python?

The power of learning Python

Python is a high-level programming language—its simple syntax and semantics make it the ideal language to start learning how to code. It’s also a general-purpose language, which means you can use it in virtually any application domain. Building restful APIS, designing recommender systems or creating charts and graphs are just some examples of tasks you can implement using Python.

In addition to its standard library, Python’s capabilities are extended with many Free and Open Source libraries, for instance in the field of data analytics and machine learning. With all these features, it’s not surprising that Python is considered to be one of the most recommended languages to learn to become a Data Analyst/Data Scientist.

Do I have to install any programs before starting the course?

+

Yes. Before starting the course, you’ll need to:

  • Install Python3, if it’s not already installed on your Operating System.
  • Install Visual studio code.
  • Install the ubuntu app (Windows users, only).
  • Create an account on Github.
  • Join the class Slack workspace.

All of these are free and we’ll give you further details on how to install them before starting the course.

What can I do after I’ve completed the course?

+

This course is for anyone who wants to gain a basic understanding of computer programming, whether it’s out of general interest, to improve your current skill set, or in pursuit of a career in data analytics. This course acts as a standalone course, or it can be combined with Module 2: Python for DA, and Module 3: Database Essentials.

How does the course differ from your Data Analytics Bootcamp?

+

This course corresponds to the first module of the DA bootcamp. It’s not an introduction to data analytics, but it’s an extremely useful stepping stone if you’re planning to get deeper into it. You can also upgrade to our DA bootcamp at a discounted price after completing this course.

Can this course prepare me for becoming a web developer? 

+

This course is not an introduction to web development and isn’t enough to support a transition to a career as a developer, though it could be a first step in that direction. Learning Python is also a necessary first step if you want to learn frameworks such as Django or Flask.

Is the course 100% online?

+

Yes, the course is entirely online. You’ll receive real-time mentoring, and able to join our Slack community to ask and get answers to any questions you have. After the course, you’ll get access to our global alumni network of CodeOpers who are always ready to mentor and support you.

Can I upgrade to your Data Analytics Bootcamp after taking this course?

+

Yes. You can upgrade to our DA bootcamp at a discounted price after taking this course and any of the other course modules.
