Python fundamentals
During this practical training, we learn how to write programs using the most popular programming language in the world: Python! This three-day course at ABIS provides a solid foundation for programming with Python. We get to understand how Python works, learn how a Python program is structured and we practise the syntax.
Throughout the last decades, Python has grown to become one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. Its versatility is impressive. You can find Python programs in an incredibly wide range of domains: from data analysis to system and network management, to web and even game development...
Throughout this training, we'll also discover that programming in Python can be fun and elegant, and significantly less frustrating than in some other languages.
During the course:
- we familiarize ourselves with the common syntax and structures of the Python language;
- we gain insight into the common approaches and philosophy behind programming in Python;
- we build several functional applications.

| (Maxime Spits, APG Asset Management, ) |
Fijne cursus, aardig goed te volgen voor een totale beginner als ik met 0 codering ervaring.
|
| (Gervin Willigenburg, Rabobank Nederland, ) |
Goede cursus, voor zover ik weet zijn bijna alle basisaspecten van Python besproken. Wel best pittig voor iemand zonder programmeerkennis, veel stof in te weinig tijd.

| (Ing Strolenberg, APG Asset Management, ) |
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.
