Descrición

Python is a high-level interpreted programming language with a philosophy that emphasises the distensibility of its code, is managed by the Python Software Foundation, and is licensed under an open-source licence.

Python has recently experienced an unprecedented boom, dominating the general-purpose programming language scene.
Learning Python is highly recommended today because of its advantages in automating administrative tasks, data analysis, web application development, academic research, teaching and tutoring, collaborating with other professionals and adapting to the latest technologies. Learning Python provides skills and tools to improve efficiency, leverage institutional data, develop academic projects and stay current in a constantly evolving educational environment.

Competencias a desenvolver

  1. Introduce the different development environments. The Jupyter interactive environment for executing and creating programs.
  2. To learn the basic elements of the language, control structures, data structures, and syntactic elements specific to Python.
  3. Introduce some of the most common libraries of the language.
  4. To carry out practices and simple programming exercises with Python.

Metodoloxía

Delivery of the training activity in virtual classroom mode with qualified personnel specialised in the subject and with extensive experience in the development of IT solutions.

The training sessions will be conducted using videoconferencing software, interspersing theoretical presentations to resolve simple practical cases.

Activities will also be proposed to the students to be able to monitor the student's achievement of the course objectives. The proposed activities can be questionnaires, exercises, and participation in question forums, among others.

Students have the support of the course teacher to resolve any doubts.
