In this subject students are introduced to fundamental principles and practices of computer programming in Python. Students learn and use problem-solving and software development techniques including planning, prototyping, version control, testing and debugging. Students will develop procedural and object-oriented programs with console and graphical user interfaces. Students will research and learn about developments in the field of programming languages and environments over recent times. Students will also apply basic data visualisation with Python (Python visualisation libraries) and notions of data analysis with Python (e.g. Scikit-learn and Pandas libraries).
Learning Outcomes
- apply fundamental application development skills in a modern programming environment;
- develop and utilise best-practice coding techniques;
- adopt self-learning with modern support resources;
- understand and apply Python libraries to problems in data science.
