Time for a crash course in Python, where you’ll learn how to write simple programs and understand their role in automation. Next, focus on how Python interacts with the Operating System. And learn to use Git and GitHub to manage versions of your code. This video is part of the Google IT Automation with Python Certificate, providing you with in-demand Python, GIT, and IT automation skills to advance your career in IT. The program, created by Google employees in the field, is designed to provide learners with job-ready skills in about 6 months.
Python challenge project, implementing a script that generates a "word cloud" from some text. Step-by-step process starting with formulating a problem statement, conducting research to see what options are available, planning how you intend to solve the problem, and writing the code to implement your solution.
Dive into the basics of programming languages and syntax, as well as automation using scripting. Get introduced to the Python programming language and some of the benefits it offers. Last up, cover some basic functions and keywords of the language, along with arithmetic operations.
Explore the intricacies of loops in Python. Learn how to use while loops to continuously execute code, as well as how to identify infinite loop errors and how to fix them. Explore common errors when using for loops and how to fix them, and use for loops to iterate over data.
Learn about different data types in Python, how to identify them, and how to convert between them. Use variables to assign data and to reference variables. Deep dive into functions: how to define them, pass them parameters, and have them return information. Explore the concepts of code reuse, code style, and refactoring complex code, along with effectively using code comments. Finally, learn about comparing data using equality and logical operators, and leveraging these to build complex branching scripts using if statements.
Introduction to the concept of object-oriented programming, or, OOP. Learn how to build your own classes with unique attributes and methods. Write documentation for your classes and methods using docstrings. Learn all about object instances and object inheritance, as well as how to import and use Python modules to make use of powerful classes and methods.
Dive into advanced ways to manipulate strings using indexing, slicing, and advanced formatting. You'll also explore the more advanced data types: lists, tuples, and dictionaries. You'll learn to store, reference, and manipulate data in these structures, as well as combine them to store complex data structures.
Digital skills have fast become essential everyday skills. Time and time again, we have seen them enabling people to unlock new potential and be more resilient. That's why Google is committed to helping people grow their digital skills, careers, or businesses using technology.
