MTA – Introduction to Programming with Python
2020-11-03 12:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual Instructor Led
The Introduction to Programming with Python course focuses on becoming a Python programmer and having fun doing it. Why should you learn Python as your next (or first) programming language? Python is an easy programming language for beginners to start out with. It’s newer than a lot of languages, so it’s easier to learn than some of the older languages. There’s a lot of demand for Python programmers. The average Python developer salary in the US is $102,000 (according to Indeed.com). Python is a really popular programming language used by companies like Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Firefox, YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram. The language is designed to be easy to read, while still being very powerful, which makes it a great language for beginners to learn. The course will include lectures and hands-on labs in a virtual environment. So learn to start writing software that solves real problems, even if you have absolutely no programming experience!
