Overview

“Advanced Python” is a compact live course in the field of Python Programming. It centres on Generators and iterators, Decorators and Context managers – explained with realistic examples and deepened in exercises you can transfer straight to your daily work.

Python is the default language for automation, data analysis, web applications and scripting in daily operations. In our Python courses, teams learn to write clean, maintainable code, automate recurring tasks and choose libraries deliberately. Every course is a one-day workshop: short technical input followed by exercises based on tasks from your own work. Advanced Python is aimed at developers, domain specialists and administrators who want to use Python productively. You work in a prepared development environment and take home runnable examples, templates and a checklist for applying the content in your projects.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
