Video Description

This course will help you learn Python, one of the most popular programming languages. Python offers both object oriented and structural programming features. We take a hands-on approach using a combination of Python Shell and PyCharm as an IDE to illustrate more than 100 Python coding exercises, puzzles, and code examples. We convert a number of Java examples to Python. You will learn about implementing Object Oriented Programming concepts in Python, inheritance, abstract classes, and constructors; you will also get a better understanding of a wide variety of Python data structures: lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples.

Style and Approach

This course targets experienced Java programmers and take a hands-on approach, using a combination of Python Shell and PyCharm as an IDE to illustrate more than 100 Python coding exercises, puzzles, and code examples, in which we convert a number of Java examples to Python.

Ranga Karanam

Ranga Karanam is an architect with 15 years' Java programming and design experience with major banking clients across the world. He started in28Minutes with the aim of creating hands-on courses with real-world projects. The Step-By-Step series of courses is one of his creations. They use a problem-solution-based, step-by-step approach with practical, and real-world application examples. While their primary expertise is in the development, design, and architecture of Java and related frameworks (Spring, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Struts, Hibernate), and are expanding into the front-end world (Bootstrap, JQuery, Angular JS). The foundations for building high-quality applications are best laid down while learning. They love open source and therefore all their code is open source too and available on GitHub. We use the 80-20 Rule. We touch upon other things briefly, equipping you with enough knowledge to find out more on your own.
