Python is an extremely versatile language used by software engineers, system administrators, academics, and data scientists. It is used extensively for back-end applications, server scripts, scientific computations, and data science projects. No matter which description suits you best, this course will definitely help you grasp the basic fundamentals of Python.

Our Python Basics series comprises three parts and covers all the entry-level concepts that you need to start writing your own applications. In Python Basics Part 3, you'll learn new powerful data structures – tuples and sets. They’ll allow you to express a wide range of concepts with your Python code in an intuitive way. Together with lists and dictionaries, which you learned in Part 2, tuples and sets constitute the ABCs of data structures that any aspiring Python developer should know. You’ll also find out how to work with date and time – two extremely common concepts that no modern application can do without. Once you finish Python Basics Part 3, and thus the entire course, you’ll be able to write advanced console applications and scripts that solve a variety of problems commonly found in the IT world.
