Python for Accountants II

Students will learn python programming language.

Requirements

  • Completion of course Python for Accountants I.

Description

This is part two of the series, Python for Accountants, a beginner level course designed specifically for accounting and business professionals who have no prior knowledge of computer programming.

Python is gaining popularity in the accounting and finance field. Despite professional willingness to learn it, most courses available online are more centric to IT background professionals.

It is an hour short course for accountants, auditors, and other finance professionals to learn python taking small steps at a time. The aim is to avoid technical jargon and setup complexities so the accountants can get straight to learning rather than frustrating installing software and setting up environments.

Practice exercises use Google Colab Notebook, so you don’t need to install anything on your computer. Google Colab is a cloud-based software that allows you to write your code online. All you need is just a google account.

Class notebooks are attached to either download or linked to open in Google Colab directly.

What we cover in this course:

· Introduction to Data Frame (Excel of Python)

· How to Create a Data Frame and few methods

·Introduction to the DRY concept and Control Flow

.Functions

.Conditional Statements

.Loops

After completing this course

1. You will have an understanding of more complex concepts of python and programming in general.

2. How to create data frames and read CSV Files

3. How to automate tasks with loops and conditional statements

See you in Class!

Functions using Python Programming

Functions in Programming

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of computer and programming

Description

In any programming language, we write program to perform particular task or to solve problem. But what if whenever we want to perform that task again and again ? or if we have large program but not necessary to execute all instructions of the program at run time. Then we can divide that large program into small blocks that is known as a functions. A function is a block of organized and reusable program code that performs a single, specific and well defined task. After creating function, just call that function whenever you need to perform that task.

So, in this course participant will learn functions using python programming.

Topics will be discussed in this course are as follows:

  1. What is need of function ?
  2. Function
  3. Types of Function: Built-in Function, User-defined Function, Lambda Function, Recursive Function
  4. Function Definition
  5. Function Calling
  6. Variable scope and Lifetime

Functions are used because of following reasons:

  1. To improve the readability of code.
  2. Improves the re-usability of the code, same function can be used in any program rather than writing the same code from scratch.
  3. Debugging of the code will be easier if you use functions, as errors can be easily traced.
  4. Reduces the lines / size of the code.

Those who are interested in learning programming concepts, can enroll for this course.

Who this course is for:

  • Those who are interested in learning programming concepts and to learn Python language.

Student’s Guide to Python 3 – Part 2

Python 3

Requirements

  • Student’s Guide to Python 3 Part 1

Description

As our world becomes more and more technologically advanced, we become immersed in a digital era. In these modern times, it is important to learn how to code, and especially important for students to learn as the possibilities surrounding code are infinite. Especially with the current advent of machine learning, Python is one of the easiest and most powerful languages available, and having it in your arsenal is an excellent tool in this day and age. This is Part 2 of a 4 part course in Python.

Who this course is for:

  • People who have little to no experience coding

Learn Python Practically

Feel enjoy to review your knowledge about Python Language practically!?

Requirements

  • Have previous knowledge about python langauge

Description

There are many of courses and sources to learn python language, but the problem is shortage of  practices compared to the theoretical section.

( Review Python Practically) practices are more than videos. The practices include of guidlines to help the student to master the knowledge. Wasting time until you get boring is not our goal in this course, our goal is to  think step by step  and point by point for ordering the knowledge in our brains gradually.

This course will cover :

  • Python Intro
  • Python preparation
  • Python statements
  • Python data types
  • Python Function
  • File

The codes in the practices are:

1) Codes without inputs

This means codes do not have input function, but have variables assigned to values or with print function

2) Codes with inputs

This means codes have input function, and may have variables assigned to values or print function

Notes:

1) The course have codes with (Error) result  when (Run) the code and that will help you to avoid the errors.

2)  (Input) in the practices will show you how the code operate depends on the inputs in each running time.

To the end of this course, you will have enough background base  to learn python projects easily. The projects you can do by python are many. I have mentioned several common projects in the course in the first section.

Who this course is for:

  • Who wants to master his knowledge in short time
  • Suitable for student who has studied python before
