Ever wanted to work for a tech giant like Google or Facebook? Python could be your way in, as these companies, as well as YouTube, IBM, Yahoo, Dropbox, Quora, Mozilla, Instagram, and many others all use Python for a wide array of purposes, and are constantly hiring Python developers. Having Python under your belt can help you land a job in very short terms. What’s more, the demand for Python skills clearly outstrips jobseeker interest. The job market outlook for Python developers is excellent at the moment.
One significant advantage of learning Python is that it’s a general-purpose language that can be applied in a large variety of projects. Python’s application in data science and data engineering is what’s really fuelling its popularity today. Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and other tools combined with the ability to prototype quickly and then “glue” systems together enable data engineers to maintain high efficiency when using Python.

The course covered even more things that i was expected. I was able to gain in-depth knowledge of Python and you will also get familiarity with data structures.
Amiyah Clark
I like the modules because they are helpful to test if I really learnt and if not go back and check where I didn’t understand.
Esmee Knight
Very good stuff for the new learners and each concept is explained in a detailed manner. Keep up the good work.
