Python Programming Foundations

Python Programming Foundations teaches complete beginners to write small Python programs that work on real, messy data and to verify that they do. Learners build a single project in seven versions, a report tool for a café's real sales data, adding a record parser, a daily summarizer, functions and modules, a data cleaner, a test suite, and a finished command-line tool. The course is project-based, with testing and bug hunting throughout, a capstone run on an unseen month of data, and an optional bonus module covering a pandas cross-check and a chart.

• Who This Course is For
  • Complete beginners with no prior coding experience
  • Career changers taking a first step into tech
  • Spreadsheet users who want to automate repetitive tasks, or learners stuck on video tutorials
• What to Expect
  • One project built in seven versions using a café's real sales data
  • Write a parser, summarizer, data cleaner, and test suite, then hunt planted bugs
  • Optional bonus module adds a pandas cross-check and a chart
• What You'll Achieve
  • A finished Python command-line tool tested on an unseen month of data
  • Skills in functions, modules, cleaning messy files, and writing tests
  • A habit of verifying code against data it wasn't written for
