Course description
In this course, we’re going to discuss some of the most important tools a Python 3 developer can use for advance implementations. We will introduce you to the high level concepts of various classes and techniques, and close each section with a practical, code-driven example on how you can leverage these techniques in daily development. Specifically, this course will start with an introduction on iterators and generators, followed by discussions on regular expressions, introspection, lambda functions, metaclasses, decorators, and more.
Prerequisites
This course is for anyone with the basic understanding of programming using Python 3. You should have the basic understanding of Python 3 to get the full use of this course. If you don’t have a basic understanding of Python 3 please view the Python 3: Fundamentals series starting with ‘Python 3: Getting Started’, ‘Python 3: Statements’, ‘Python 3: Data’, and ‘Python 3: Functions and Classes.’
