Python for the Cloud - Azure is an introductory and beyond-level course that uses practical, hands-on Python training to teach the basics of writing and running Python scripts, as well as more advanced skills required to write solid Python code to deploy to production. This comprehensive practical course provides an in-depth exploration of working with the programming language and is not an academic overview of syntax and grammar. Course skills learned can be applied to use Python in basic web development projects or automate or simplify common tasks with the use of Python scripts.
