Course Description

Elevate your Python skills to the next level

This course will delve deeper into Python's rich ecosystem, focusing on essential aspects such as built-in functions, modules, and packages. You'll learn how to harness the power of Python's built-in functions effectively, enabling you to streamline your code. The course will introduce you to the power of Python's modules, empowering you to develop quicker by reusing existing code rather than writing your own from scratch every time! You'll see how people have extended modules to create their own open-source software, known as packages, discovering how to download, import, and work with packages in your programs.

Master custom functions

You'll learn best practices for defining functions, including comprehensive knowledge of how to write user-friendly docstrings to ensure clarity and maintainability. You'll dive into advanced concepts such as default arguments, enabling you to create versatile functions with predefined values. The course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to handle arbitrary positional and keyword arguments effectively, enhancing the flexibility and usability of your functions. By understanding how to work with these arguments, you'll be able to create more robust and adaptable solutions to various programming challenges.

Debug your code and use error handling techniques

You'll learn to interpret error messages, including tracebacks from incorrectly using functions from packages. You'll use keywords and techniques to adapt your custom functions, effectively handling errors and providing bespoke feedback messages to developers who misuse your code!

    Great course, very well explained, rich in examples and exercises! I just would recommend to include the Select Case method (from Python 3. 10).

    I love having so many practical exercises that make the recently acquired knowledge stick. And whenever my code doesn't work it's amazing to have the AI assistant tell me what's wrong with it, why, and how to fix it!
