Acerca de este curso

The PCAP | Programming Essentials in Python curriculum is designed for students with little or no prior knowledge of programming, i.e., students of secondary school, university, vocational school, or simply anyone interested in learning programming. The only preliminary requirement is the ability to use a personal computer and a very basic knowledge of mathematics.

The PCAP: Programming Essentials in Python course covers all the basics of programming in Python 3, as well as general computer programming concepts and techniques.

The course also familiarizes the student with the object-oriented approach. The course is broken down into two parts, each divided into four modules. Students have access to hands-on practice materials, quizzes, and assessments to learn how to utilize the skills and knowledge gained on the course and interact with some real-life programming tasks and situations.

Certificación

IT Specialist - INF-303: Python

Incluida para alumnos actuales de MEDAC: 1º y 2º de DAM, DAW, SMR, ASIR y 3D

Objetivos

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with general computer programming concepts like conditional execution, functions, loops, Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment, as well as with general coding techniques and object-oriented programming.

Completing the course ensures that the student is fully acquainted with all the primary means provided by Python 3 to enable them to start their own studies, and to open a path to the developer's career.
