Python for Real Applications

Description

Curriculum

FAQs

The Python for Real Applications course is a one-on-one Python course, designed to take students from near-zero programming experience to building real-world applications using Python. Spanning four weeks, with three hours of instruction per week (weekday + weekend), students will learn both core programming concepts and practical tools like NumPy and Matplotlib. The course concludes with a guided project: developing a GUI-based Python application using wxWidgets.

Delivered in a small group setting (max 50 participants), the course blends lectures, hands-on coding, assignments, and real-time feedback, while utilising the PyCharm IDE.
