Advanced Python: PCPP1 Exam Preparation

About this course

Step up to professional-level Python. Over seven days you will deepen your object-oriented design with special methods, abstract classes, decorators and metaclasses, and learn to write code that follows PEP 8, PEP 257 and the Zen of Python.

You will then build graphical interfaces with tkinter, write network clients that use sockets and REST APIs with JSON, and process data with sqlite3, XML, CSV, logging and configuration files.
