Introduction to Python Programming
June 5th-6th, 2014 - DIBRIS
This intensive course presents the Python programming language, from the ground-up, covering
procedural, object-oriented and functional features. The goal is to provide a framework for understanding
how to use Python constructs for developing correct, elegant and maintainable software. Live
demonstrations and practice sessions complement lectures, allowing the students to understand how
theoretical aspects fit together and how to use effectively the tools at their disposal. The course consists
in 12h of lessons (including both lectures and practice sessions).
Addressed topics: Simple data types: booleans, numbers, strings; Collections: sequence, set and map
types; Control structures and functions; Modules; Object-oriented programming; File handling; Debugging,
testing and profiling; GUI Programming; SciPy.
Examination
Each student has to develop a small project (program or library).
Prerequisites
Having some basic programming experience (in any language). Each student should have his/her own
computer to solve the proposed programming exercises.
