    Python Fundamentals

    After an introduction on the installation and the different ways to execute scripts, the basic concepts such as declarations, variables and control flow structures are discussed.

    Data Structures and Functies

    Attention is also paid to collection structures, such as Lists, Tuples and Dictionaries. Next the focus is on the use of functions with the different methods of parameter passing, such as by value and by reference. The scope of variables and lambda functions are also discussed here.

    Modules and Packages

    Subsequently attention is paid to the division of Python software into modules and the use of namespaces and packages. Comprehensions in Python and functional programming are discussed as well as the handling of errors in scripts using exception handling.

    File and Database Access

    Next the functionality of various Python library functions for accessing files is the subject matter and attention is paid to database access with the Python Database API.

    Classes and Objects

    Also object-oriented programming with classes and objects is treated. In this respect concepts such as properties, constructors and encapsulation are highlighted.

    Python Libraries

    Finally if time allows, optional attention is paid to different libraries for Regular Expressions, unit testing and date and time. A follow up on this course is the course Advanced Python Programming .
