Within the study course, students are introduced to the possibilities of the programming language Python and the principles of software development. The study course provides an introduction to the programming language Python and its use in solving practical tasks. The study course covers the stages of software development, program structure, cyclic constructions, functions, procedures, arrays, symbol strings, text files, objects, as well as the use of libraries to solve specialization-related tasks. The study course also covers the use of Python modules, which allow students to add to the functionality of the programming language by reducing software development time and program code length. Upon completion of the study course, students will gain knowledge and practical experience that will allow them to use Python to solve typical tasks in their field of specialization.
