101 Labs β Python
Python is a popular general-purpose programming language that can be used for a wide variety of applications. Python is often used for developing websites and software, task automation, data analysis, and visualization. Since it's relatively easy to learn, Python has been adopted by many non-programmers such as accountants and scientists, for a variety of everyday tasks, like organizing finances. It includes high-level data structures, dynamic typing, dynamic binding, and many more features that make it as useful for complex application development as it is for scripting or "glue code" that connects components together.
Python is now tested in many exams, from the Cisco CCNA and CCNP to CompTIA Data+. As we move into network automation, it will become increasingly important to know Python, but the good news is that it's easier than ever to learn and get certified. This lab book prepares you for the following three Python certification exams: PCEP β Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer PCAP β Certified Associate in Python Programming Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) - Python
You follow the instructions using free software and quickly gain confidence as you take each lesson. When you feel ready, you can take the certification exam.
101 Labs β Python takes you through the entire exam syllabus, preparing you for the above exams. The first 25 labs are for the PCEP exam.
Follow along with our instructor as he guides you through all the important commands, tools, and utilities you need to know. We share our years of industry experience with you, so you really feel prepared not only for the exams but the real world of Python programming.
