Python Basics Training

What is Python?

Python Basics covers basic programming skills in Python, including variables, data types, sequence control, functions and basic data structures. This makes it possible to carry out initial automation and small projects independently.

Who is Python training suitable for?

Ideal for anyone who wants to improve their job prospects with practical Python skills. Python makes it easier to work with data, automates processes and is in demand in many professions. This will increase your job opportunities and give you a key skill for the future.

For which professional groups is the training relevant?

The training is aimed at career starters and people in the process of reorientation who want to work in a data-related or digital environment.

  • Designing processes efficiently with Python as an engineer
  • Process data faster as a controller
  • As a marketing specialist: perform simple evaluations with Python
  • As a project manager:in programming small tools for task automation

In this training you will learn:

Python Basics
Flow Control
Code modularization
  • Learn and apply basic programming concepts in Python
  • Use selected Python libraries for reading, processing and saving data
  • Using variables, data types and basic Python functions
  • Use flow control structures such as if statements and for loops for dynamic code execution
  • Create and use your own functions and methods for structuring and modularizing code
  • Importing and using Python modules to extend the functionality of programs

Chapter 1: Data Types

In this chapter, you will move around our programming environment - the Data Lab - for the first time and execute your first code commands. You will start by learning what data or texts represent in Python. Using a set of rules, you will learn how data is created, assigned and tested in variables. You will then learn how to read common error messages and practise how to use them productively in your day-to-day work.

<p

You will also learn basic Python standard functions such as type() or str() and use them in application examples. Once you have become familiar with the if statement and can use it to link the flow of your code to conditions, you will conclude the chapter with the first part of a two-hour mini-project: you will program a user interface that reacts flexibly to user input.

Chapter 2: Flow Control

In the second chapter, you will work on two essential processes to make your code even more flexible: You will learn about lists and for loops. Lists allow more flexibility in storing data and are a prerequisite for advanced programming.</p

You will learn how to create, read and change them in a targeted manner. You will use lists to expand the functionality of your user interface from the first chapter and complete the first mini-project. You will then work with for loops, which you can use to automatically execute your code several times, taking you to the next level of programming.

Chapter 3: Functions, Modules and Methods

In the third chapter, you will round off your programming skills in Python and learn advanced techniques. This includes functions and methods. You will learn to define functions independently and thus structure your code better. You will also combine individual programming elements such as conditions, loops and functions in programs.

You will use various methods to learn how to import Python modules correctly and ensure functionality as a whole. Linked to this, you will learn how to read in and export data as a simple test. With the help of a one-hour mini-project with telephone data, you will consolidate what you have learned in the chapter.

<p

Chapter 4: Python Applications

In the fourth chapter, the content of chapters 1-3 is repeated and rounded off with more advanced content. You will learn what dictionaries are and how they make your code even more efficient. You will become familiar with complex data structures that you will need for your final project.

<p

In a four-hour practical project to create a complex user interface for the automated processing of customer inquiries, you will have to bring together all the content from the previous chapters.
