PYTHON

A Python Computer Course focuses on teaching the fundamentals and advanced concepts of Python programming language. Python is a versatile, high-level programming language used in web development, data science, automation, artificial intelligence, and more. The course is designed for beginners to intermediate learners and covers everything from the basics to more advanced Python concepts.
