COURSE OVERVIEW:

Learn the advanced features of Python: functional programming, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), data analysis, database programming. At completion you will be able to write professional Python scripts and applications that can manipulate file based (JSON, XML, and CSV) or database backed data and present the results in beautiful graphs using matplotlib.

PREREQUISITES:

• You must be able to write a Python script that could open a text file, iterate through the lines, and output the ones containing, for example, email addresses.
• You must have previously written a minimum of 1,000 lines of Python code
