The 2-month course will equip you with the prerequisite skills prior to taking up the specialization courses. The building blocks of the course are: ● Basics of Data and Data Structure ● Python Programming Fundamentals ● Linux Administration ● Network Fundamentals 1. Python Programming Fundamentals This Foundation Module aims to provide cadets with an introduction to the python programming language. Beginning with learning how to set up the programming environment on their computers, this module will introduce basic programming concepts and gradually build up and explore important concepts like Object Oriented Programming. Unit 1 : Introduction to Python Sl. No. Topic 1.1 Programing Basics 1.2 Set up local programing environment 1.3 Working on Python interactive console Unit 2 : Data Types, Variables 2.1 Understanding Data Types 2.2 Working with strings 2.3 Formatting Text & String functions 2.4 Indexing & Slicing Strings 2.5 Introduction to Variables 2.6 Datatype Conversions Unit 3 : Operators, Statements and Functions 3.1 Basic Python operators 3.2 Understanding Boolean Logic 3.3 Use List and List Methods 3.4 Understanding Tuples & Dictionaries
