What You Will Learn:

This course covers a comprehensive range of advanced Python topics, allowing you to dive deeper into Python’s capabilities and solve real-world programming challenges efficiently. Here’s a breakdown of the key concepts and skills you’ll master:

1. Advanced Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):

Object-oriented programming is a cornerstone of Python development, and in this course, you’ll learn how to leverage its power to create more modular, scalable, and reusable code. You’ll explore:

• Classes and Objects: Learn to define and instantiate classes, create objects, and implement advanced methods for different types of data.
• Inheritance and Polymorphism: Master the techniques of inheriting from base classes, method overriding, and using polymorphism to write flexible, maintainable code.
• Multiple Inheritance: Understand how to work with multiple base classes and the complexities that arise from this powerful feature.
• Abstract Classes and Interfaces: Learn how to design abstract classes and use them to enforce a contract between the developer and the class implementation.
• Design Patterns: Explore common design patterns like Factory, Singleton, and Observer that make your Python code more organized and maintainable.

2. Python Standard Library:

The Python Standard Library is a treasure trove of modules and tools that every Python developer should master. In this course, you will dive deep into:

• Working with Data Structures: Understand the more complex and specialized data structures Python offers, such as namedtuple, deque, defaultdict, and Counter.
• Advanced Functions: Learn to use the built-in functools and itertools libraries to make your code more concise and efficient.
• File Handling: Get familiar with advanced file operations, such as reading and writing binary files, handling CSV files, and parsing JSON and XML data.
• Networking with Sockets: Explore Python’s capabilities for building networked applications and handling HTTP requests using the socket and requests modules.

3. Concurrency and Parallelism:

As applications grow in complexity and demand, it’s essential to write programs that can handle concurrent tasks efficiently. In this course, you will master:

• Threading: Learn to use the threading module to run multiple threads concurrently, ideal for I/O-bound tasks.
• Multiprocessing: Explore the multiprocessing module for CPU-bound tasks, leveraging Python’s ability to run multiple processes in parallel for better performance.
• Asynchronous Programming: Dive into asynchronous programming with Python’s asyncio library to handle thousands of tasks concurrently with minimal overhead.
• Concurrency Best Practices: Learn the common pitfalls of concurrency and how to avoid them, including race conditions, deadlocks, and how to properly synchronize threads and processes.

4. Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms:

Understanding the right data structures and algorithms is essential for optimizing your code. In this course, you’ll enhance your skills in:

• Graph Data Structures: Learn how to represent and manipulate graphs, which are commonly used in problems like social networks and route optimization.
• Heaps, Stacks, and Queues: Understand the underlying mechanics of these structures and implement them from scratch for efficiency.
• Searching and Sorting Algorithms: Master advanced algorithms, including quicksort, mergesort, and searching algorithms like binary search and hash tables, along with their time and space complexities.
• Dynamic Programming: Learn to solve complex problems by breaking them into simpler subproblems and optimizing your solution to avoid redundant computations.

5. Testing and Debugging:

Professional Python developers rely on solid testing and debugging practices to ensure that their code is reliable and performs well. This course teaches:

• Unit Testing: Learn to write unit tests with Python’s built-in unittest module, ensuring each part of your code works as expected.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD): Understand the principles of TDD and how to apply them in Python to improve the quality and maintainability of your code.
• Mocking: Use mocking to simulate parts of your code and isolate problems during testing.
• Debugging Tools: Explore Python’s debugging tools, including pdb, and learn how to use logging, profiling, and performance testing to identify and fix issues in your code.

6. Packaging and Distribution:

Being able to distribute and reuse your Python code is an important skill in software development. In this course, you will learn how to:

• Package Your Code: Learn how to organize your Python projects into packages and modules for easy distribution and use.
• Use setuptools and pip: Master the tools used for building, distributing, and installing Python packages, and understand how to publish them to repositories like PyPI.
• Dependency Management: Learn how to handle dependencies in your projects using requirements.txt and virtual environments to ensure consistency across development environments.

7. Code Optimization and Performance:

This course will help you write faster, more efficient code by teaching:

• Profiling and Benchmarking: Use tools like cProfile and timeit to measure the performance of your code and identify bottlenecks.
• Memory Management: Learn how to optimize memory usage and manage Python’s garbage collection to reduce overhead and improve performance.
• Code Refactoring: Understand how to refactor your code to make it more efficient, readable, and maintainable.

Course Structure and Features:

• Hands-on Projects: This course is filled with practical examples and exercises that will help you build real-world Python applications.
• Interactive Quizzes and Mock Exams: After each module, you’ll reinforce your learning through quizzes and mock exams that simulate the PCPP1™ certification exam format.
• Capstone Project: At the end of the course, you’ll complete a capstone project that applies everything you’ve learned to a complex problem, giving you an opportunity to demonstrate your skills.
