Python® continues to be a popular programming language, perhaps owing to its easy learning curve, small code footprint, and versatility for business, web, and scientific uses. It's proven to be a useful language for developing custom software tools, desktop programs, web services, and cloud applications.
In this Specialization, you'll build upon your basic Python skills, learning more advanced topics such as object-oriented programming patterns, development of graphical user interfaces, data management, creating web-based apps, performing data science tasks, unit testing, and creating and installing packages and executable applications.
Note: This Specialization requires that you use the provided virtual machine, which includes an installation of Python. The course setup instructions provided in the first course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
Applied Learning Project
In each module, you will apply the Python skills you learn by building a full-fledged desktop application through code. You will also improve the efficiency and reliability of that code using various programming techniques. You will save your work in source-code files that you can take with you once you've completed each course.
