Python Programming — From Zero to Useful Automation
Who it is for: complete beginners and self-taught scripters who want solid foundations.
Syllabus follows the arc of leading university introductions to computer science in Python — objects and types, strings and branching, iteration, functions, lists and mutability, dictionaries, exceptions, recursion, classes and inheritance, and algorithmic complexity — then applies it to everyday business automation: spreadsheets, files, web APIs and email.
You will be able to write, test and run Python programs that save real hours every week.
Community and help: every enrolled student gets the course Forum tab — ask the BOSS Pacific team or other students, share fixes and lab results. Read the BP Academy blog for updates and worked examples.
Includes: the full course as a licensed PDF workbook, available after purchase.
Hands-on labs: rent a ready environment from BOSS Pacific — Docker sandbox, Linux container. Every lab resets every 24 hours and is removed at the end of your rental. Or build your own with the gear listed in the course.
