IPSP 2013 - Short Term Course on Improving Programming Skills in Python

Department of Computer Science & Engineering, NIT, Rourkela was established in 1982. Since its inception, the Department is under dynamic progress and is able to establish the reputation for imparting quality education both at undergraduate and graduate programmes. The department has well equipped modern laboratories such as Software Engineering, Information Security & Data Communication, Image Processing & Cluster Computing and Advanced Database Engineering Labs for pursuing research keeping in view of the technological advancement.
ABOUT THE COURSE
In order to develop the quality software for different applications, one needs to improve the programming skills in high level languages. Learning of one or more high level programming language is needed both for beginners and experts in academics as well as industry Python is one of the recent and important high level programming language for beginners as well as developers. The features such as modules, packages, extensive library and edit-testdebug cycle available in Python are needed for developing good quality software. The course would enable the participants to learn the skills necessary to develop small to large class assignments and projects. The course will help to provide foundation for rapid application development such as Web and Internet Development, Data base access, Desktop GUIs, Scientific and Numeric Computing, Education, Network Programming, Software Development, Game and 3D Graphics using Python.
