Outline:
Module 1: Introduction to Python
Lesson 1: Introduction to Python and the Python Environment
Description: This lesson will provide students with an overview of Python programming language, its history, and its significance in the industry. Students will also be introduced to the Python environment, including IDLE and Jupyter notebooks.
Lesson 2: Basic Data Types in Python
Description: This lesson will introduce students to basic data types in Python, including numbers, strings, and lists. Students will learn how to perform various operations on these data types and how to store data in variables.
Module 2: Control Structures and Functions
Lesson 1: Conditional Statements in Python
Description: This lesson will introduce students to conditional statements in Python, including the if, if-else, and elif statements. Students will learn how to use these statements to control the flow of their programs.
Lesson 2: Loops in Python
Description: This lesson will introduce students to loops in Python, including the for and while loops. Students will learn how to use these loops to repeat tasks and how to exit a loop prematurely.
Lesson 3: Functions in Python
Description: This lesson will introduce students to functions in Python, including how to define and call functions. Students will learn how to pass parameters to functions and how to return values from functions.
Module 3: Data Structures in Python
Lesson 1: Lists and Tuples
Description: This lesson will introduce students to lists and tuples in Python, including how to create, modify, and access these data structures. Students will also learn how to sort and search lists and tuples.
Lesson 2: Dictionaries and Sets
Description: This lesson will introduce students to dictionaries and sets in Python, including how to create, modify, and access these data structures. Students will also learn how to perform set operations and how to use dictionaries as key-value stores.
Module 4: Working with Files and Databases
Lesson 1: File Input and Output in Python
Description: This lesson will introduce students to file input and output in Python, including how to read from and write to files. Students will learn how to use the open(), read(), and write() functions and how to handle exceptions when working with files.
Lesson 2: Working with Databases in Python
Description: This lesson will introduce students to databases in Python, including how to connect to and interact with databases. Students will learn how to use the SQLite database and how to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using Python.
Module 5: Object-Oriented Programming
Lesson 1: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming
Description: This lesson will introduce students to the concepts of object-oriented programming, including classes, objects, attributes, and methods. Students will learn how to define classes, create objects, and call methods in Python.
Lesson 2: Inheritance and Polymorphism
Description: This lesson will cover inheritance and polymorphism in object-oriented programming. Students will learn how to create subclasses, use inheritance to reuse code, and how to override and extend methods. They will also learn about polymorphism and how it allows for code to work with multiple different types of objects.
Lesson 3: Encapsulation and Abstraction
Description: This lesson will cover encapsulation and abstraction in object-oriented programming. Students will learn about how to use access modifiers to control the visibility of attributes and methods, and how abstraction allows for the creation of objects with only the necessary information exposed. They will also learn how to use abstraction to create a simplified interface for working with complex objects.
Module 6: Advanced Topics in Python
Lesson 1: Decorators
Description: This lesson will introduce students to decorators in Python, including how to create and use custom decorators. Students will learn how decorators can be used to modify the behavior of functions, classes, and methods, and how they can be used to create reusable code snippets.
Lesson 2: Generators and Iterators
Description: This lesson will cover generators and iterators in Python. Students will learn how to create custom iterators, how to use generators to create lazy-evaluated sequences, and how to use iterators and generators to handle large data sets efficiently.
Lesson 3: Context Managers
Description: This lesson will introduce students to context managers in Python, including how to create and use custom context managers. Students will learn how context managers can be used to manage resources, such as files and databases, and how they can simplify the process of opening and closing resources in Python.
Module 7: Python Applications
Lesson 1: Building Command-Line Applications
Description: This lesson will show students how to build command-line applications in Python. Students will learn how to process command-line arguments, interact with the user, and use packages to add functionality to their applications.
Lesson 2: Building Web Applications
Description: This lesson will cover how to build web applications in Python, including how to use frameworks like Flask and Django to create web applications. Students will learn about routing, template rendering, and how to handle HTTP requests and responses.
Lesson 3: Building Desktop Applications
Description: This lesson will show students how to build desktop applications in Python, including how to use packages like PyQt and tkinter to create graphical user interfaces. Students will learn about GUI components, event handling, and how to use Python to build cross-platform desktop applications.
The course concludes with a final project that allows students to apply what they have learned to a real-world problem. The final project could be a command-line application, a web application, or a desktop application, depending on the student's interests and goals.
By the end of the course, students will have a deep understanding of Python, including how to use it to build applications, how to work with data and files, and how to use object-oriented programming to write efficient and maintainable code. They will have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed as Python developers and to continue learning and growing as they work on their own projects.
