Python for Java Developers

Python for Java Developers is designed to help Java developers transition to Python efficiently by building on their existing programming knowledge. Over the course of three days, participants will learn the fundamentals of Python, including its syntax, data types, flow control, and function definitions, while also exploring collections, comprehensions, and lambda expressions for concise coding. The curriculum guides attendees through constructing larger programs, managing errors, and understanding object-oriented programming concepts in Python—paralleling many Java principles—making the transition seamless. The final day focuses on building scalable services, utilizing the Python standard library, and exploring concurrency and asynchronous programming, which aligns with Java’s multithreading and network programming concepts. By the end of the course, Java developers will have a solid foundation to adapt their existing skills rapidly and leverage Python’s simplicity and power for rapid application development.
