Python programming: working with data - remote CB433 / F03
Summary
As you progress beyond the basics of Python programming, this course will help you develop the level of programming skill required for upto GCSE computer science. You’ll go further through the fundamentals of programming, with lots of hands-on experience under the guidance of highly successful teachers of computer science.During the course you’ll learn about data types, and how data structures are manipulated in Python programs. You’ll create and edit files that can store data for later use, as you begin to develop simple software applications.New program code almost always contains errors; you’ll become adept at debugging - testing the functionality of your code then identifying and correcting errors.This course will deepen your knowledge, up to GCSE level which will help boost confidence when teaching key topics to students. Book now and you will be automatically registered for the scheduled sessions for the course. Remote CPD courses have live, facilitator-led sessions and are not available for instant access. Please refer to the schedule of dates published for each course instance.
