(4)

Master advanced Python concepts such as collections, generators, mocking, advanced testing, multiprocessing, combining Python with C++, and more.

This course teaches advanced topics in Python programming. Start with advanced topics in object-oriented programming in Python and an overview of the Python collections module. Continue working with generators, iterators, and decorators, as well as advanced testing and mocking. Get introduced to the Python multiprocessing module, with details on how to create and work with processes. Furthermore, learn how to combine Python and C/C++ applications, build C/C++ applications using Python programs and create virtual environments. Finish off the course by creating releases and libraries from the Python code.
