How great would it be to write your own computer program? Or design a web or desktop application that millions of people could enjoy? Both are a possibility if you learn how to code in Python. Python is a very versatile, object-oriented programming language used by startups and tech giants, Google, Facebook, Dropbox, and IBM. Python is also recommended for aspiring developers who are interested in pursuing careers in Security, Networking and Internet-of-Things. Cisco calls this the language of IoT.

This course introduces universal computer programming concepts such as data types, containers, functions, conditions, loops, as well as Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment. Course content and delivery will be online via the Cisco Networking Academy CMS.

Upon course completion with additional self-study, participants will be prepared to take the following certification: 

• PCEP - Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer 

Required preparation: No prior knowledge of programming is needed, though you must be an experienced computer user. Access to a computer with a camera and microphone and robust Internet to use course materials and labs is required.
