Skip to Scheduled Dates

Course Overview

Python is a popular programming language used by system administrators, data scientists, and developers to create web applications, custom Red Hat Ansible Automation modules, perform statistical analysis, and train AI/ML models. This course introduces the Python language and teaches fundamental concepts like control flow, loops, data structures, functions, file I/O, regular expressions, parsing JSON, and debugging. This course is based on Python 3 and RHEL 9.0.

Who Should Attend

System administrators and DevOps personnel who want to use Python to automate operating system tasks Developers from other programming languages who want to learn Python for writing applications AI/ML, data scientists, and engineers who want to use Python for data analysis and machine learning
