Prerequisites:
1. Anyone with desire to learn
2. No programming background
3. Minimum basic knowledge of english language
Python is one of the top 5 popular programming languages of 2020. One of the main reasons why python is so popular as a programming language is that it’s a great way to learn how to code. Python is a general purpose and high level programming language.
For beginners, the syntax of Python is much simpler in comparison to other popular programming languages. Python was designed for readability, and has simple English language like syntaxes with influence of mathematics.
Additionally, there are many applications for which Python is a great option, including data science, AI and machine learning, web development and Internet of Things (IoT) with devices like the Raspberry Pi. One can use Python for building desktop GUI applications, websites and web applications.
While Python is optimized for development on Linux and UNIX systems, interpreters are available for just about every major operating system. Implementations of Python are supported by an excellent standard library, which means that new students can very quickly move on to creating actual functional programs that are useful. Additionally, the standard implementation of Python, CPython, is free and open source.
Participants are expected to:
1. Convert their paper logic to python code.
2. Write basic to mid level programs to solve basic problems.
3. Apply the programming skills to solve real world problems in their domains of choice.
4. Extent their understanding of python to learn the fundamentals of data Science, Machine Learning, natural language processing, web applications etc.
