Crash Course on Python by Google

There is a new, free Python programming course offered by Google on Coursera. No programming experience is necessary.

There are numerous Python courses available, but when you learn that Google is giving one, you simply must enroll.

You will learn the fundamentals of writing straightforward Python programs using the most typical structures in this course. No prior programming experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will have an understanding of the advantages of programming in IT roles, be able to construct simple Python programs, understand how the many components of programming fit together, and are able to put all of this information together to solve a difficult programming challenge.

The fundamentals of programming computer programs will be covered first. Through real-world examples and interactive exercises, you'll get practical experience with programming ideas along the way.You'll quickly realize that computers are capable of carrying out a wide range of activities; all you have to do is create the code that instructs them to do so.

What You'll Discover in a Flash?

• Recognize Python's purpose and relevance to automation
• Create quick Python programs to carry out automated tasks.
• Know how to use the fundamental Python data types, such as strings, lists, and dictionaries.
• Build your own unique Python objects

You should Know the following:

• Basic Data Structures in Python
• Fundamental Concepts in Programming
• Python syntax basics
• Object-oriented programming in Python (OOP)

It is instructed through "Google Career Certificates," a component of Grow with Google.

a project that builds on Google's twentyyears history of creating goods, platforms, and services that aid in the growth of individuals and companies.

To put it another way, this is a simple course that tries to reach a target audience as large as possible because being able to write code is a critical skill for anyone working in IT.

a project that builds on Google's 20-year history of creating goods, platforms, and services that aid in the growth of individuals and companies.

It lasts for six weeks and only requires just a few hours of commitment every week. The weekly schedule is as follows:

Week 1: Hello Python!

We'll introduce the Coursera platform and course structure to you in this module.  After that, we'll get into the fundamentals of programming languages, syntax, and scripting for automation.

Additionally, You will also learn about the programming language of python and some of its advantages. The final section of our discussion will include some of the language's fundamental functions, keywords, and arithmetic operations.

Week 2: Basic Python Syntax

Python's several data types are covered in this module, along with how to recognize and convert them. Additionally, you'll discover how to reference and assign variables to data. You'll delve deeply into functions, learning how to define them, provide parameters to them, and also have them return data.

The ideas of reusing code, coding style, and restructuring complex code will all be covered, along with the proper use of code comments. Finally, you'll discover how to use logical and equality operators to compare data and how to use these to create sophisticated branching scripts with if statements.

Week 3: Loops

You'll learn about the complexities of Python loops in this module! You will learn how to continually run code using while loops, as well as how to spot and correct infinite loop issues. You'll also learn how to utilize the range() method for loops and how to use loops to cycle through data. Additionally, you'll learn about typical for loop mistakes and how to correct them.

Week 4: Strings, Lists, and Dictionaries

In this section, you'll explore more complex string manipulation techniques like indexing, slicing, and sophisticated formatting. Additionally, you'll study the more complex data types, such as dictionaries, tuples, and lists. You'll discover how to use these structures to store, alter, and reference data as well as how to merge them to store more complicated data structures.

Week 5: Object Oriented Programming (Optional)

You'll learn about the idea of object-oriented programming in this module! You'll discover how to create your own unique classes with special properties and procedures. The opportunity will present itself for you to use docstrings to create documentation for your methods and classes.

You will learn all there is to know about object inheritance and object instances as well as how to use and import Python modules to access robust classes and methods. You will also learn about Jupyter notebooks, which we will use to write and run more complicated code, to finish out the lesson.

Week 6: Final Project

You'll apply all you've learned so far in this module! By constructing a script that creates a "word cloud" from some text, you'll have to work through a difficult final project using a problem-solving framework.

You'll create a problem statement to clarify the issue, do some research to determine your options, and then start making plans for how you're going to address it. You'll then create the code to put your solution into action!

There are two ways to study this course because it is the first of the six courses that make up the Google IT Automation with Professional Certificate in python, which takes about eight months to complete.

7-day free trial that comes with:

• access to all Certificate courses at any time
• Watch lectures, complete homework, take part in forums, and more.
• Anytime, cancel.
• If the trial isn't for you, simply end it before it ends with no consequences.
• After the trial period, the cost to continue learning is $39 (€32).
• Go as quickly as you can because you can save more money doing so.
• When finished, receive a certificate.
• Share your CV, LinkedIn profile, and resume.

In Audit mode

Which means you can take it without charge but won't receive a certificate when you finish it. Okay if you only want to dip your toe in the water, the more comprehensive plan appears to be worth the money.

Additionally, the entire IT Automation with Python degree is accessible via Coursera Plus, a $399 annual membership that offers unrestricted access to the vast majority of Coursera courses along with certificates.
