Python Training course overview

In this Python training course, students learn to program in Python. The course is aimed at students new to the language who may or may not have experience with other programming languages.
This Python course is taught using Python 3; however, differences between Python 2 and Python 3 are noted. For private Python classes, our instructor can focus specifically on Python 2 if desired.

Python has exploded in popularity, from being an obscure scripting language to becoming one of the most popular, and widely used languages in the world. In this course, Advanced Python, you’ll learn advanced topics, a knowledge of which will set you apart from the greater number of Python developers. First, you’ll explore how to gain fine-grained control over attribute access. Next, you’ll discover how to intercept class-object construction. Finally, you’ll learn the subtle, but powerful, controls Python gives you over class relationships. By the end of this course, you’ll know enough Python to understand the advanced techniques used to implement sophisticated frameworks and much more.
