Overview
What you will study
In this Python from Zero to Hero Part 1 course offered by Maastricht University , you will be introduced to Python, a pythonic way of working and thinking, and to web scraping—a powerful method to collect born-digital data for your (scientific) research projects.Python is currently the most popular programming language in the world, according to the TIOBE Index. TIOBE ranks programming languages by popularity, and Python has been five times the “language of the year” and is steady in the top 3 since 2018. Python is such a versatile language that it can be used for a wide variety of applications, such as app and web development, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, game development, and much more.In this course, no prior knowledge of Python is required—we will start at the absolute basis. You will be gradually trained from scratch. We will start with the very basic steps, including getting to know the Python language and its grammar up until a hackathon exercise in which you will collaboratively build your web scraper.This course is offered in tandem with “Python from Zero to Hero Part 2,” which builds further on the skills and knowledge built in this course.
