Watch this new Python training.

Python is one of the simplest, most accessible programming languages around today, and it’s hard to imagine a developer who won’t benefit from knowing it. Web developers use the language all the time — Python always seems to show up on embedded devices, and can be found on just about every server in the world.

Developers who work with data scientists and researchers rely on the hundreds of scientific libraries to extend Python for their work. Developers working with tech startups love Python’s ease of use and scalability — perfect for building simple solutions that you know can explode when the company does. No matter where you develop, or how, learning Python will either accelerate your career, or start it on the right foot.

The seven-part series covers topics such as recognizing basic concepts of Python: indenting, compilation, operators, and expressions, coding with the Python language to accomplish basic programming tasks, and incorporating conditional execution, loops, Python syntax and semantics into code.
