Overview

This online course is focused on teaching you the fundamental skills and concepts of Python — one of the world’s most popular and versatile cross-platform programming languages. Python’s popularity has grown vastly in over the last decade, because it is relatively easy to learn, is highly portable and utilises streamlined code.
