Aim – Introduction to Python

This module equip students with a good fundamental of programming structures, techniques and practices so as to become comfortable with, and adaptable to, any programming languages. It also covers program testing, debugging, and a number of program design tools and techniques used to express the solutions needed to solve the impending problem. Students will be taught to apply Python programming to problems that require structured thinking. Fundamental concepts of data structures and algorithms will be covered, including stacks, queue, linked lists and trees. Students will be certified as a Microsoft Technology Associate if they pass the examination by external vendor at the end of the course.
