Overview
7+ Hours of Video Instruction
While Python is a great beginner language, you will need to know more than conditionals, functions, and loops to be a competent Python developer. This video lesson is meant as a follow-up to Arianne’s Introduction to Python LiveLessons course. In it, you will learn essential skills to become a proper Python developer, like using external libraries, managing project environments, handling exceptions, and making HTTP requests. By the end of this lesson, you will have created a web scraper in Python that gathers data from a website and outputs it into a CSV formatted file. You will also be introduced to key software construction concepts like testing, debugging, and refactoring.
Description
Python was originally designed with learners in mind. It is also used by professional developers in a wide range of applications, such as web programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and DevOps. Python is the fastest growing, most widely used language, and aspiring developers want to learn.
