Python Basics Certification Course

Basics of Python for Biologists

LIVE Course in the BioTecNika App

Programming is not only important for IT professionals but it is equally helpful to biologists also, and nowadays it is the most important and demanding skill for researchers to have. However, being from a biology background it can be really tough to start learning programming by yourself. If you want to learn Python at your own pace, then you are in the right place. This certification course provides all the information which is needed to start your programming career and Python is the best to start this self-learning journey of yours. In no time, you are going to be a faster, more efficient researcher with a CV no one will look away from.

Python is an object-oriented programming language. It is ideally designed for rapid prototyping of complex applications. It has interfaces to many OS system calls and libraries and is extensible to C or C++. Many large companies use the Python programming language, including NASA, Google, YouTube, etc.

Why Should You Learn Python?

For an IT professional it is easy to figure out which coding to learn out of several programming languages but as a biologist, it is very difficult to understand that which programming language would serve your purpose. Now why Python? why not other languages?, Here are the following reasons:

• It is the most widely used programming language in the world.
• It has a very easy learning curve.
• Easy syntax and easy to understand

Future scope of Python Programming: The present and future scope of python language are increasing day by day. It can be seen that several biology programmers have already contributed many libraries to make Python science-friendly, whether it comes to protein sequencing, or any other data science-related research python is the first priority.
