Python is a very popular choice among professional developers for writing computer applications. In this course, you'll discover the basic features of Python, beginning with an overview of the Python language. Then you'll explore how to install Python and learn its basic syntax. You'll learn how to use variables with strings and how to save Python files, flow control, conditionals, comparisons, loops, and lists. You'll go on to how to use loops and lists, implement flow control in an application, and obtain user input. You'll discover functions in Python, Boolean and None data types, and custom functions. You'll learn about Python and JSON modules, file handlers, and how to use exception handling to solve problems. You'll discover the Python package manager (pip), Python Package Index, and the benefits of reusing libraries in Python programming. Finally, you'll discover HTTP requests, APIs, and dictionary data types in Python programming. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
