| Program Detail |
: Python is a modern scripting language that allows rapid application development of both large and small software systems. The language is open source and runs on a wide variety of computing platforms. Unlike many scripting languages, Python is object-oriented by design and provides an excellent platform for learning the basics of programming and programming languages.
The main goal of this course is to introduce the basics of the Python programming language. Since the core language is quite simple, it serves as an excellent platform for demonstrating the benefits of object-oriented programming, as well as good programming design. Practical applications of python, including CGI programming, general programming for the Web, system administration, text handling, and other topics are presented with examples of useful, working programs. |
