Preamble:

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures
and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic
typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application
development in many areas on most platforms.
Python offers much more error checking than C, and, being a very-high-level language, it has high-level
data types built in, such as List, Tuples and Dictionaries. Because of its more general data types, Python is
applicable to a much larger problem domain than Awk or even Perl, yet many things are possible in Python.
Python allows you to split your program into modules that can be reused in other Python programs. It
comes with a large collection of standard modules like file I/O, system calls, sockets, and even interfaces to
graphical user interface toolkits like Tk. Python has been used in a lot of places like in creating games, for
statistical data and visualization, speech and face recognition.
Python is an interpreted language, which can save our time during program development because no
compilation and linking is necessary. The interpreter can be used interactively, which makes it easy to
experiment with features of the language, to write throw-away programs, or to test functions during program
development.
Python emerged as a leading programming language used in the Booming areas like Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things(IoT) and Data analytics. Currently available academic curriculum is not
much enough to fulfil the requirement of Skills needed to program in Python language. Because of lack of
hands-on experience among professionals, there is a huge demand in providing skill-based training in Python
language which will bridge the skill-gap of the engineering graduates.

Objective of the Course:

To develop and skill the engineering graduates in acquiring Problem Solving abilities in Python
Programming Language and make the students to become master in writing Python scripts.

Outcome of the Course: After successful completion of this Course, students can able to:

1. Able to write simple Python programs for Real-time problems.

2. Develop problem solving capability using python scripts.
3. Get exposed to Advanced Python Programming in creating GUI based applications.
4. Gained Hands on experience to design object-oriented programs with python classes.
