Python is a general purpose programming language that was designed to be compact, easy to use, easy to extend, and which has a large standard library and a very active development community. As well as being a general purpose programming language, Python is widely used as a scripting language, a glue language, for data science and machine learning, and for software test.
Essential Python is intended for professionals working in the electronic systems hardware and embedded software development flows. Essential Python is for people who need to learn Python quickly to get a specific job done. It focusses on the most commonly used features of the Python language and teaches you all you need to know to start using Python properly and effectively.
Workshops comprise approximately 50% of learning time and are based around carefully designed hands-on exercises to reinforce learning.
