Course Description
This course provides an introduction to programming using Python Programming Language. Python is a versatile programming language,
suitable for projects ranging from small scripts to large systems. Students are introduced to core programming concepts like data structures,
conditionals, loops, variables, and functions. This course includes an overview of the various tools available for writing and running Python,
and gets students coding quickly. The course also familiarizes the student with object-oriented approach, data structures, writing custom
functions, and reading and writing to files.

The course is broken down into Eight (8) modules. Each student has access to hands-on coding exercises, laboratory materials, quizzes, and
assignments to learn how to utilize the skills and knowledge gained on the course and interact with some real-life programming tasks and
situations.
By the end of the course, Students will be able to accomplish coding tasks related to the basics of programming in the Python language, and
to understand the fundamental notions and techniques used in object-oriented programming. This course will enabled the students to gain the
knowledge and skills to develop computer programs and apps using Python Programming Language.

Overall Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

 Create variables and objects in Python

 Perform conversion operations on numbers
 Use conditional constructs to control flow of execution
 Work with Python's built-in objects
 Read and write files
 Communicate with databases
 Create structured data with lists, tuples, sets and dictionaries
 Write clear and concise regular expressions
 Organize code with functions and classes
 Create object-oriented Python programs
 Use exceptions to gracefully handle errors

Specific Objectives for the Course

Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:

1. Identify/characterize/define a problem
2. Design a program to solve the problem
3. Create executable code
4. Read most Python code
5. Write basic unit tests
