In Detail

This is the most comprehensive yet simple course on the Python programming language and it concentrates on Python 3.x. This means that what you will learn is relevant, not obsolete. No prior coding experience is needed. Python is one of the most useful programming languages to learn. You can use it for the back-end of web applications, games, in-house scripts, and even for building robust test automation frameworks. In recent years, the demand for Python has exploded in the job market with insufficient developers to fill the available roles. Additionally, the QA industry is rapidly transitioning to Python and building automation tools.
