COURSE DESCRIPTION
Python is the programming language that opens more doors than any other, and the more you understand Python, the more you can do in the 21st Century. With a solid knowledge of Python, you can work in a multitude of jobs and a multitude of industries.
PCPP1™ certification will be particularly valuable for:
- learners looking to boost their skills and knowledge for a junior-level and middle-level role as a software developer, network programmer, data analyst, or tester;
- industry professionals wishing to explore technologies that are connected with Python, or that utilize it as a foundation;
- team leaders, product managers, and project managers who want gain an in-depth understanding of the terminology and processes in the software development cycle to more effectively manage and communicate with production, QA, and development teams.
With the ever-increasing reliance on the Internet, and with Python playing an ever-growing role, the salary of the average Python programmer is almost surely to rise.
