The course "Programming in Python" is designed for students eager to learn about the world of programming. Applicable to a range of skill levels, this course provides students with the tools to harness the powerful syntax of Python and understand how to develop computer programs. Using real-world examples and data, we illustrate practical usage of Python in a way to which students can relate. We discuss main points of each topic first and then address the peripheral details. Students learn good programming habits the first time—bringing them in line with the best modern programming practices.
