Python Programming: Intermediate Concepts

About

Code and run your first Python program in minutes without installing anything! ****

This course is designed for learners with limited coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just Python, but core Computer Science and software development topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover strings, functions, files, and recursion. Completion of Python: Basics Skills before taking this course is recommended.

To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

What you will learn

• Compare and manipulate strings of text

• Define and use custom functions to improve code readability

• Read and write to text and CSV files

• When and how to use recursion instead of iteration
