The fastest way to learn Python for experienced Java programmersAbout This VideoHow to develop object-oriented programs with Python.How to use a combination of Python Shell and PyCharm as an IDE to illustrate Python coding exercises.In DetailThis course will help you learn Python, one of the most popular programming languages. Python offers both object oriented and structural programming features. We take a hands-on approach using a combination of Python Shell and PyCharm as an IDE to illustrate more than 100 Python coding exercises, puzzles, and code examples. We convert a number of Java examples to Python. You will learn about implementing Object Oriented Programming concepts in Python, inheritance, abstract classes, and constructors; you will also get a better understanding of a wide variety of Python data structures: lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples.
