Course Description
Python is one of the most used programming languages in the world. Both the popularity and the demand are growing each year, and there’s a good reason for that. Python is easy to get started with and also allows for fast execution. But Python is also incredibly useful for System Admins.
That’s exactly why we’ve built our Python 3 for Windows Administrators course. Not only will it dramatically increase your value in the job market, it will expand your capabilities in the day-to-day as a System Admin. It will let you streamline operations on bulk files or monitoring systems and servers. This Python course will teach you syntax and give you access to several projects where you can practice your newly acquired skills.
This course is still under development. Currently there are only text lessons but we will be adding video lessons at a later time.

- Install Python on Windows
