Note:
As this class places strong emphasis on the hands-on experience, you will be working with data for the majority of the time in the class. To optimize the learning experience, it is mandatory for all participants to be equipped with a laptop.
Programme Objective
This course is an introduction to Python, a popular programming language, which will be delivered in a context relevant to professional accountants. Python is a user -friendly language taught as an introductory Computer Science courses in the universities, while also being powerful and flexible enough to be used in a variety of professional settings, e.g. in data science, artificial intelligence and web development.
Participants will learn how Python can be used to consolidate data from reports of varying templates, crawling data from e-commerce sites to evaluate the organisation’s pricing strategies, and making documents in the workplace secure from prying eyes.
Programme Outline
