    Introduction to Python for Business and Finance

    Overview
    Python ​is a high-level, object-oriented programming language that is ​used in a variety of
    projects​ ranging from data science and machine learning to backend web development. In
    fact, it is one of the most ​in-demand​ programming languages today.

    Learning Python is a ​great entry point into the technical world​ as the ​syntax is much easier
    to learn​​ compared to other programming languages. Because of its syntax simplicity,
    Python is a common ​first programming language​​ for business and finance individuals.

    But, do not be misinformed though! Just because Python has easier syntax does not make it
    any less powerful compared to other languages. ​Many of the world’s tech majors​ use Python
    as part of their technical ecosystems.

    This one-day, hands-on introductory course teaches students ​foundational Python


    concepts​​ and how to use Python’s popular libraries to complete various technical tasks.
    Students are presented with Python coding challenges throughout the day to test their
    understanding of the material. The course culminates with a challenging ​in-class coding
    project​​ where students apply concepts taught in the course to ​create a game​.
