Python fundamentals
During this practical training, we provide a solid base for programming in Python.
Throughout the last decades, Python has become one of the most used programming languages in the world. Its versatility is impressive and makes it into a popular language throughout a broad domain spectrum: OS scripting, data analysis, system and network administration, web development, ...
Moreover, writing Python code is fun and relatively easy in comparison to some other languages. During the training, we acquire insight in the philosophy behind programming in Python, get accustomed to its syntax and build a few applications on the way.

The course was good but several things were discussed briefly and some of the material was not even mentioned. The instructor was good but some of the examples were not completely clear

uitstekend, Peter nam de tijd om dingen goed uit te leggen - interpreteerde de vragen goed
|
| (Roland Maarschalkerweerd, ING - Haarlerbergpark, ) |
Goede cursus, voor zo ver ik weet bijna alles basis aspecten van Python besproken. Wel best pittig voor iemand zonder programmeer kennis, teveel stof in te weinig tijd.

super informative

| (Ing Strolenberg, APG Heerlen, ) |
Goede opleiding waarmee je een goede introductie krijgt in Python en direct toepasbaar is in de praktijk.
|
| (Jeroen Kemper, APG Heerlen, ) |
Heel duidelijk en goed gepresenteerd, alleen is 8uur per dag erg lang om te kunnen focussen.
|
| (Ellen Roncken, APG Heerlen, ) |
Een uitstekende training waarin je veel leert over de theorie van Python maar deze ook gelijkt in de praktijk toepast.
|
| (John, ) |
Nice course to get the basics of Python
|
| (Sandra, ) |
Voor iemand met weinig python kennis is het een goede training. De uitleg is goed en helder en met de bijbehorende opdrachten om te oefenen.
|
| (Sandra, ) |
Prima cursus om te starten met Python.

Bonne approche de python. De la pratique sera nécessaire pour en utiliser les subtilités.
|
| (Benoit Kaisin, Meteo Wing - La Défense, ) |
Het is een zeer complete beginners cursus die langzaam en gestructureerd opbouwt
|
| (Martijn, ) |
prima
|
| (N.N., Black Tiger Belgium, ) |
op korte tijd veel geleerd
|
| (Luc Mees, Black Tiger Belgium, ) |
erg nuttig en goed gepresenteerd. af en toe lastig als je weinig ervaring hebt met programmeren.
|
| (Yori, ) |
Zeer goed gegeven. Steekt deftig in elkaar. Had graag een dagje langer gehad zodat we meer praktijk konden oefenen.
|
| (Dimitri, ) |
Zeer goed. Theorie overzichtelijk gepresenteerd, goede oefeningen
|
