Como se trata del segundo curso dentro de un programa especializado, se requiere tener conocimientos de los conceptos básicos de programación y saber escribir y ejecutar scripts de Python.
Este curso cubrirá las secciones 6-9 del libro de texto “El Tutorial de Python” de Guido Van Rossum, el creador de Python.

What You Will Learn

  • Utilizar strings
  • Comprender las diferentes estructuras de datos que provee Python
  • Comprender cómo se trabaja con archivos
  • Comprender qué son las excepciones y el uso de los decoradores

Course 2 of 4 in the Aprende a programar con Python Specialization

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Cadena de caracteres o Strings
En este módulo abordaremos los siguientes contenidos: Primero trabajaremos con los strings (o cadenas de caracteres), manipulando los strings. Además, veremos los métodos que define el tipo string. Luego trabajaremos con la librería string que forma parte de la biblioteca estándar de Python. Finalmente, aprenderemos a utilizar la librería datetime, para trabajar con fechas, horas y fechas y horas dentro del programa.

WEEK 2
Manejo de archivos
Avanzamos al módulo 2 de contenido. En esta semana nos abocaremos a comprender y utilizar las excepciones. Aprenderemos a manejar excepciones, a lanzar excepciones y a crear nuestro propios tipos de excepciones. Luego aprenderemos a trabajar con archivos: leyendo y escribiendo archivos en el sistema de archivos de nuestra computadora. Además, utilizaremos dos formatos de archivos muy populares para trabajar con sistemas: el formato JSON y el formato CSV.

WEEK 3
Listas
Llegamos al módulo 3 del curso. En esta semana trabajaremos con las listas: manipulando listas y utilizando los diversos métodos que provee el tipo lista. Además, identificarás y trabajarás sobre sus diversos usos: pilas, colas, listas por comprensión y matrices. Luego, veremos en detalle algunos métodos para buscar elementos en las listas y también aprenderás diversas formas de ordenar los elementos de una lista. Además, aprenderás a utilizar el tipo conjunto y comprenderá cuando utilizar un conjunto en lugar de una lista.

WEEK 4
Diccionarios y tuplas
Llegamos al último Módulo del curso. Felicitaciones por haber llegado hasta aquí. En esta semana podrás trabajar con las tuplas: creando, manipulando, empaquetando y desempaquetando tuplas. Luego trabajaremos con la estructura de datos más potente de Python: los diccionarios. Veremos cómo crearlos, manipularlos y recorrerlos. Además utilizarás los distintos métodos del tipo diccionario. Abordaremos la definición de generadores, comprenderás cómo crearlos y cómo y cuándo conviene utilizarlos. Finalmente, aprenderás qué son los decoradores y veras como crear y utilizar decoradores en tus programas.
