From scripting to software: Turn your Python basics into scalable, real-world solutions.
Learn the language behind AI, automation, and analytics — with hands-on clarity, not just syntax.
Gain the confidence to build, debug, and deploy Python code across diverse applications.
Course Overview
Whether you're coming from shell scripting, C, or legacy languages — Python has become the new standard for automation, backend logic, and data interaction.
This 5-day instructor-led course teaches participants to write clean, modular, and maintainable Python code. Starting with Python syntax and data types, you'll explore control structures, functions, file I/O, classes, modules, exception handling, and essential libraries for web, file, and system tasks.
The course bridges scripting and structured programming — making it ideal for professionals moving into automation, analytics, DevOps, or backend development. By the end, you’ll be equipped to develop complete programs and understand the Python language at both a practical and architectural level.
