Python is currently in high demand; it’s a programming language that has enjoyed a meteoric surge in popularity among professionals.
With supervised practicals and assignments that will be evaluated, students will learn how to program through active coding. As such, this course encourages an environment of independence where students can feel secure in their own understanding and application of Python.
Participants are expected to take a preliminary online course before this course starts. This course is free of charge and takes up to 16 hours to complete. Please note that this preliminary free course is not the official winter school course 'Introduction to Programming'. More details will be shared with participants in early December.
Lectures will be light yet highly interactive, with many small exercises to engage student’s abilities under professional guidance. Course topics include, but are not limited to:
- Computer programming concepts
- Programming as a problem-solving tool
- The Python language
- The use of Jupyter notebook
- Best coding practices
- Debugging code
- Visualisation
The course itself will take 40 hours, spread over two weeks (weekdays from 9:00 tot 12:15 CET): 30 contact hours and 10 hours self-study. In addition, students will probably spend another 16 hours after the course working on their final assignment.
