Python I - introduction to programming

The course is designed for beginners who want to learn the basics of the modern, elegant and highly efficient Python language. In this course, you will learn the basic features of the language, the use of functions and data structures, and the basics of object-oriented programming in Python. If you have no programming experience, we recommend first taking the course Introduction to Algorithmization and Programming [PRG]

• For beginner developers who want to learn Python programming.

• Basic knowledge of algorithms and programming at the level of the PRG course, or experience with programming in another language

• Expert interpretation with practical examples, exercises on computers.

• Printed presentations of the discussed material.
