Description

The basic Python course for beginners is very practical and optimized for the essentials, with many examples and numerous programming tasks, whose difficulty level increases linearly. This practice-oriented Python training is aimed at beginners and non-programmers. You can take it as a three-day online course, as an in-person event at the Coding Academy, or as a four-week program.

Our practical Python course for beginners teaches you programming in a simple and structured way. We help you to master the most difficult step in learning a programming language - the entrance into the fascinating world of programming! In this course, you will get to know the logic and principles of a modern programming language. The basic concepts and language elements such as control flow, data organization in data structures, and data manipulation using functions are conveyed in an entertaining way.

Our course allows you a smooth entry into Python and saves you valuable time that you would otherwise spend on painstaking self-study. We offer you a structured learning environment in which you can quickly and efficiently acquire the basic programming skills. Our experienced team of trainers will support you and help you to master the challenges of programming.

With our practical Python course, you will be on your way to becoming a programming professional. You will understand the basics necessary to tackle more complex tasks and implement your own projects. Don't miss the opportunity to save weeks or months of strenuous self-learning and instead make rapid and effective progress with our course.

Enrich your knowledge and discover the exciting world of programming with our practical Python course for beginners. Sign up today and take the first hurdle on your path to success as a programmer

Schedule

On the first day, we start our course in a relaxed manner and together we learn how to install Python and which tools are necessary for development. We explore different development environments (IDEs) like IDLE, Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, or Jupyter Notebooks that make programming easier. In the course of the course, we write our first Python program and learn various methods to execute it. As soon as the infrastructure is set up for all participants, we start with the basic concepts of Python. You will learn how to manage data in variables and process them with functions. In addition, you will control the data flow in your program using conditions and loops. Already after this day, you will be able to write and execute your own Python programs, for example, a small lottery game!

On the second day, we want to give our data a structure to be able to apply powerful and useful operations to it. Every program consists of data and functions that process this data. Therefore, on this day you will get to know some of the most important data structures in Python, such as lists and dictionaries. We discuss many useful operations on these data structures, such as sorting, inserting, or deleting elements as well as finding specific elements. This is done through many examples and programming tasks, so that after the second day you will master the handling of these basic data structures in Python.

On the third day, you will be introduced to additional data structures in Python, such as tuples and sets, as well as advanced techniques for handling data, such as list, dictionary, and set comprehensions. In addition, you will learn the basics of file processing by learning to write, read, and modify files on your computer. If we have enough time, you will receive a vivid introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) with Python at the end

Progress in the mentioned topics depends on our individual pace. Depending on the prior knowledge of the participants, the course may progress a little faster or slower. A homogeneous group allows the greatest benefit for all participants. Therefore, we limit our courses to a maximum of 8 people with similar prior knowledge!

Certificate

Of course, as a participant in the Python course for beginners, you will receive a certificate. The prerequisite for this is complete participation in all course units and programming tasks.

Course formats

3-day on-site course

The course takes place in our modern and top-equipped training rooms. We provide each participant with a modern laptop during the training. Drinks are provided by the Coding Academy. Access to the material will be provided at the latest on the first day of the course

3-day online course
The course takes place online. You only need a computer with Internet access; however, for some courses it is necessary to install the software used; this is specified in the description of the respective course. Access to the material will be provided at the latest on the first day of the course.

4-week program

A new and innovative learning concept. More information about the 4 weeks program can be found here.

Where do we go from here?

If you would like to further deepen the Python knowledge you gained in this course, we recommend the Python advanced course for programmers. There, after a compact repetition of the topics from this course, you will learn more about object-oriented programming, exception handling, structuring large projects with packages and modules, and many other topics.

If you are interested in how to write "good" software - that is, software that is easy to maintain and extend, and where you can rely on it to function as it should - our Effective Python course is a good choice. In this course, you will learn various techniques to improve the quality of your software.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to this and future courses at the Coding Academy!
