Python Programming Certificate
Train to Be a Python Programmer
As you progress through the four courses of the Python Programming Certificate series, you'll become steadily more proficient at this versatile and popular programming language. Author Steve Holden is a leader of the Python community with over thirty years of instructional experience. In these classes you learn everyday Python techniques that you can use and adapt to your own needs, with a progressively increasing emphasis on test-driven development.
The first course introduces the Python language, and by the end of the second you have created graphical user interfaces, accessed a relational database and analyzed email messages. The third class increases your language mastery by explaining some of the secrets of the interpreter "under the hood". The fourth rounds out whole experience, providing you with a holistic knowledge of Python that will leave you ready to continue your programming career confident in your command of Python.
