New Python courses from Mail.Ru Group



    Python is a simple, flexible and popular language used in many areas of modern development. Web applications are created on it, games are written, data is analyzed and many other tasks are performed. Mail.Ru Group has launched the Python Programming specialization , consisting of four courses - from language immersion to Data Science. We want to learn and deepen their knowledge of the language could and beginners, and students, and experienced developers. The first of the four parts, “ Immersion in Python ”, started back in 2017, and now the second and third parts are available to listeners: “ OOP and design patterns in Python ” and “ Creating Web services in Python

    ". The courses were prepared with the support of MIPT, the authors are employees of MIPT and Mail.Ru Group.

    In this article we will talk about the authors and topics, as well as the required level of students and the skills they will acquire.

    OOP and Design Patterns in Python


    The course “OOP and Design Patterns in Python” will help you step beyond the simple use of language syntax and move from writing simple concrete classes to professional application design within an object-oriented paradigm.

    For whom the

    Course is intended for those who confidently write simple programs in Python and know the OOP paradigm implementations in this language: classes, objects, attributes, methods.

    Duration

    6-8 hours per week for 5 weeks. Each week will be devoted to a separate topic.

    Course content
