Course Detail:

Course Name: Introduction to Python

Introduction

The Introduction to Python course at the Bangladesh-Korea Information Access Center (BK-IAC) is designed for beginners and professionals aiming to learn the basics of Python programming. It covers essential programming concepts, data structures, and an introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Participants will gain hands-on experience with Python, which is a powerful, easy-to-learn, and widely used programming language. This course will serve as a foundational step for learning Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs), Business Analytics, and related fields.

Objectives
  • To provide an introduction to the fundamentals of Python programming.
  • To equip participants with essential skills for working with variables, data types, and functions in Python.
  • To introduce data structures such as lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.
  • To explore basic programming concepts like conditional statements, loops, and built-in functions.
  • To introduce Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in Python.
  • To demonstrate practical implementation through assignments and projects.
Prerequisite

This course is suitable for beginners with no prior programming experience. A basic understanding of computer operations is recommended. If you have prior programming experience, this course will serve as a quick introduction to Python.

Tentative Class Schedule

The course length will be 3 weeks with two classes in each week and 3 hours in each class. The tentative lecture plan of the course is as follows:

Class# Content
