Overview

“Algorithms and Data Structures in Python” is designed for roles such as Developers and software engineers and Data analysts and domain specialists who need automation. In 6 hours you work your way through Complexity and Big-O, Stacks, queues and heaps and Hashing in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

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. Algorithms and Data Structures in 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.
