    Modules

    Chapter 1 – The Data Types
    In this chapter you will navigate through our programming environment
    – the Data Lab – for the first time and execute your first code commands.
    You will learn what data or text represents in Python. Using a set of rules,
    you will learn how to create, assign and test data in variables. You will then
    learn how to read out common error messages and practice how to use
    them productively in your day-to-day work. You will also learn basic Python
    standard functions, such as type() or str() and use them in application
    examples. After you‘ve learned about the if statement and can use it to
    control the flow of your code with conditions, you‘ll finish the chapter with
    the first part of a two-hour mini-project: You will program a user interface that
    reacts flexibly to the user‘s input.

    Chapter 2 – Flow control
    In the second chapter you will work on two essential operations to make
    your code even more flexible: You will learn about Vlists and for-loops. Lists
    allow more flexibility in storing data and are a prerequisite for advanced
    programming. You will learn to create them, read them and change them
    purposefully. You will use lists to extend the functionality of your user
    interface from the first chapter and complete the first mini-project. Afterwards
    you will work with for-loops, which you can use to automatically execute your
    code several times and level up your programming.
    Chapter 3 – Functions, Modules and Methods
    In the third chapter, you will round off your programming skills in Python
    and learn some advanced techniques. These include functions and
    methods.
    You learn how to define your own functions to structure your
    code better. You will also combine the individual programming elements
    such as conditions, loops and functions in programs. You will use various
    methods and learn how to import Python modules correctly and how
    to ensure functionality as a whole. Linked to this you will learn how
    to import and export data as a simple test. In a one-hour mini-project
    involving telephone data, you will consolidate what you have learned in
    the chapter.

    Chapter 4 – Python Applications
    In the fourth chapter, you will recap content from chapters 1-3 and round
    it off with additional material. You‘ll learn what dictionaries are and how
    they can make your code more efficient. You will get to know complex
    data structures
    that you will need for your final project. In a four-hour
    hands-on project to create a complex user interface for automatically
    processing customer requests, you will need to bring together everything
    you learned in the previous chapters.
    Chapter 1: Advanced Python:
    In the introductory chapter, you‘ll review the most important content from the
    previous module before learning a series of concepts that will catapult you to the
    next level of programming with Python. You will take a deeper look at defining
    functions and learn about default values, type hints and assert statements.
    Afterwards, you will be able to use functions even more effectively as tools
    for your projects. You will also cover the concepts of list comprehension and
    dictionary comprehension
    to create lists and dictionaries efficiently. At the end
    of the chapter you will learn how to adapt your code to the industry standard
    PEP8
    with layout and structure.

    Chapter 2 – OOP Basics
    In the second chapter you will learn what OOP is, which program principles are
    based on it, and which conclusions you can draw from it, using simple examples.
    In the main part of the chapter you explore how classes and attributes are
    defined and used. You will use examples to examine instance methods and how
    to use them and define them with method chaining. You‘ll learn what the self
    keyword
    is, as well as how to distinguish debugging from class definitions.
    Finally, you will test your previous knowledge in an interactive intermediate
    project and repeat the exercises from the chapter.

    Chapter 3 – Inheritance and Composition
    In the third chapter, you will learn what inheritance and composition are and
    how to use these concepts in use cases. In addition to simple inheritance, you will
    also learn more advanced methods such as inheritance hierarchy and multiple
    inheritance
    . In doing so, you‘ll practice deep inheritance methods used in the
    reusability of data from parent to child classes, compensating for data loss.
    Finally, we will provide you with the most important best practices for unit tests,
    so that you can detect errors in your code before your users find them.

    Chapter 4 – Advanced OOP
    In the fourth chapter you will deal with more advanced terms of objectoriented programming,
    which will accompany you in your daily work. You
    will study how programs and modules differ and what role __main__ plays.
    You will learn what decorators are and how to use property decorators
    optimally. You will look at static and class methods and what special
    methods and class representations can be used with __str_() and _repr_().
    Based on this, you will learn about the options for representation operator
    overloading
    offers as well as other important methods from the Python
    Standard Library and then apply the learned content in a company-relevant
    interim project.

    Chapter 5 – OOP Applications
    In the fifth chapter, you will demonstrate your knowledge in two larger
    projects that represent classic use cases of object-oriented programming.
    In the first project, you‘ll build your own interface to a popular data science
    library
    that enables further uses for machine learning and data or text
    analytics. The second project deals with programming your own blockchain,
    where you will learn more about the underlying concepts. By the end of
    Module 2, you‘ll be equipped to apply OOP in the corporate world.
