In this course students will gain knowledge of programming language Python, its datatype system and accompanying programming constructs. Text and binary data processing together with Python specific approach will be emphasized. Also information about changes between 2.x and 3.x versions of Python language will be discussed.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Znamenáček Jiří Ing. (14.02.2018)

Thanks to Python's uniqueness students will be able to apply such diversified techniques as iterators, closures and functional constructs to name just a few. Also they will learn principles of program testing and debugging and distributed version control systems (DVCS) which are essential parts of every serious programming work.
