Webinar Description

Python Webinar II focuses on one of Python’s most practical strengths: working with real data. In this hands-on, instructor-led session, participants learn how to read from and write to files, process structured data, and build Python programs that transform raw information into useful output.

This webinar emphasizes practical workflows and realistic scenarios. Rather than isolated examples, labs are designed to mirror tasks commonly found in business, operations, reporting, and automation. All exercises are completed using Visual Studio Code, reinforcing professional development practices.

By the end of the session, attendees will have written multiple data-focused Python programs and gained confidence handling files and external data sources—skills that transfer directly to real-world projects.


Lab & Exercise Structure

Each lab is:

  • Instructor-guided with live explanation

  • Hands-on and incremental

  • Focused on realistic data scenarios

  • Executed entirely in Visual Studio Code

Lab code and examples are reusable and designed to serve as reference material after the webinar.
