Focus

In this training you learn the basic principles of programming in Python. The focus is on understanding the fundamentals, so you can write small scripts yourself and better understand existing code.

Goal

At the end of this training you can write simple Python programmes independently, you understand how control flows work, you can use functions and you know how to find basic errors. You bring everything you learn into practice immediately with a mini-project.

Approach

The training consists of an interactive morning and afternoon session. In the morning we cover the fundamentals of Python; in the afternoon we build on this and you work on a mini-project in which you apply all parts. Theory is alternated with many short exercises, so you learn directly by doing.

What you learn:

The basics of the Python programming language
Working with different data structures such as lists and dictionaries
Writing reusable code with functions
Problem-solving thinking and applying the acquired knowledge in a practical project

Session 1:

Introduction to Python
Basic syntax and variables
Control flows (conditions)
Lists and tuples
Dictionaries and sets

Session 2:

Loops
Functions
Basic error handling
Mini project (here all acquired knowledge is put into practice again)
