Visualization

You will create test cases, and test suites, which leverage the testing of complex functionality with the help of unit testing and TDD.

MODULE 4

Python Advance

The fundamental is not the end of every programming course, of course, it is very important but not enough to feel confident using the programming language. Therefore, the major role of this module is to teach you about python's core capabilities to become more sorted after Python Software Developers. During this module, you will be exposed to operations on data sets, threading, multiprocessing, exceptions, lambda expression, regular expressions and much more. This is going to be 35 hours module.

You will use your skills to work on context managers, decorators and other advanced python applications. Your instructor will guide you along the way. Your work will be expanded later in the program.

Transition

This is the time to leverage your knowledge of applying advanced python features to your previous written code.

Visualization

You will be able to visualize functionality added to an existing object without modifying the object.

MODULE 5

Algorithms and Data Structures

This module will teach you what an algorithm is and how to think as a software engineer, you will also learn different data structures and their implementations samples. This is going to be 30 hours module.

Key skills: Algorithms, Data Structures, Computational Complexity and "Big O" notation.

Understanding  Algorithms and Data Structure

You will use your skills to develop algorithms for a given real-world task. Your instructor will guide you along the way. Your work will be expanded later in the program.

Visualization
