Certified Associate Python Programmer (CAPP)

Course Overview

Python is a general-purpose programming language that can be used on any modern computer operating system. It can be used for processing text, numbers, images, scientific data, and just about anything else you might save on a computer. It is used daily in the operations of the Google search engine, the video-sharing website YouTube, NASA, and the New York Stock Exchange. These are but a few of the places where Python plays important roles in the success of business, government, and non-profit organizations; there are many others.

Python is an interpreted language. This means that it is not converted to computer-readable code before the program is run but at runtime. In the past, this type of language was called a scripting language, intimating its use was for trivial tasks. However, programming languages such as Python have forced a change in that nomenclature. Increasingly, large applications are written almost exclusively in Python.

This Certification is distinguished by its affordability, friendliness, and openness to the student. It starts from the absolute basics, guiding the student step by step to complex problems, making her/him a responsible software creator able to take on different challenges in many positions in the IT industry.

A good Python programmer needs to be able not only to solve problems using Python as the programming language but also be familiar with Python native data structures and language constructs.
