Course Description

This course teaches many advanced concepts and capabilities of the Python programming language. Some of the topics include the Python object model, packaging and distributing projects, asynchronous I/O, distributed computing, message passing and idiomatic data handling. Upon completion of the course students will be able to write Python programs that utilize many of the advanced features of the language.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Write Python code that adheres to fundamental Python guidelines and principles.
- Write programs that utilize the benefits of custom classes when developing using an Object-Oriented model such as Python.
- Implement Python programs in a functional style.
- Create Python distributions to share and collaborate effectively.
- Use Asynchronous I/O to write single-threaded concurrent code
- Use distributed computing to split up computations across multiple resources
- Use idiomatic data handling for the that uses the obvious way to solve the task at hand.
- Write Python programs that run tasks in parallel or across distributed systems.
