Certification Overview

Certified Professional Python Programmer (CPPP)

Exam Code: CPPP-001

Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language. Because of its powerful and flexible syntax, Python excels as a platform for scientific computing. Versatility, simplicity of use, high portability and the large number of open source modules and packages make it very popular for scientific use. The certification is designed to provide a solid foundation on the basic elements of the language. For this reason during the course some good programming practices will be pointed out, many of which are useful for any language. certification is a professional credential that measures your ability to accomplish coding tasks related to advanced programming in the Python language and the more advanced notions and techniques used in object-oriented programming.

certification shows that the individual is familiar with the more advanced aspects of classes, regular expressions, and advanced features of object-oriented programming. The scope of certification also includes graphical and network programming, as well as working with databases, testing and debugging, and processing various kinds of data.

Becoming CPPP® certified ensures that the individual is fully acquainted with all the advanced means provided by Python related technologies.
