In this intermediate software development skills training, Ben Finkel teaches learners the basics of the Python programming languages.
A few years ago, Python broke into the top three most popular programming languages on the TIOBE index — and it has stayed there. Popularity means increased relevance. So, if the TIOBE index is any indication, more organizations will likely adopt Python. In turn, this will drive the demand for Python skills. So if you’re interested in programming, starting with Python is a safe bet.
Topics in this scripting language training include how to query databases with the Python programming language and gain an understanding of SQLite, SQLAlchemy, MySQL.
While this software development skill isn't necessarily mapped to a software development exam, it's an excellent refresher for data analysts.
After finishing this Python training, you'll learn the Python syntax, structure, and best practices. You’ll also learn how to query databases with Python and gain an understanding of SQLite, SQLAlchemy, MySQL.
For anyone who leads a technology team, this software development training can be used to onboard new data analysts, IT professionals, or developers, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a software development reference resource.
