Course Information

Take your Python skills further with our Advanced Python course. Delve into object-oriented programming with classes and inheritance, explore Python's object model and metaprogramming. Master design patterns including iterator, decorator, and factory patterns. Sharpen your testing with Python's unit test library and learn test-driven development. Enhance your debugging skills, manage exceptions, and write maintainable code with best practices in coding standards, documentation, and reproducible environments. Learn code re-use through packaging, and optimise for performance with threading and asynchronous programming. Finally, understand functional programming within Python's capabilities.
