Practical Python & AI-Assisted Coding

Master the art of directing AI to build real software

Most Python courses teach you to memorise syntax. This course teaches you to think architecturally — to plan a solution, direct an AI coding tool to write the code, and critically evaluate the output. You will build a complete, deployable automation pipeline. Every concept is introduced only when the project demands it.

Framework: Prompt-Plan-Program (PPP)

PPP is a three-stage loop: (1) Prompt — define the problem with precision; (2) Plan — architect the solution before writing a single line; (3) Program — direct AI tools to implement, then critically review and refine. The loop repeats at every level of abstraction.

Capstone Project: Automated Data Extraction & Reporting Tool

Build a Python script that reads messy CSV data, cleans it, runs analysis, and auto-generates a formatted HTML report — all directed through AI prompting with your architectural oversight.

    Duration: 25 minutes

    Includes: Quiz

  2. Python Fundamentals — Variables, Types & Your First Script

    Understand variables, data types, and basic operations — the building blocks every Python program is made of.

    Duration: 30 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  3. Collections & Data Structures — The ACCESS Decision Framework

    Before you can choose the right data structure, you need to understand what each one does and when it shines.

    Duration: 30 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  4. Control Flow — Loops, Conditions & Pattern Matching

    Apply a systematic framework to select the optimal data structure for any problem — moving beyond memorisation to architectural thinking.

    Duration: 25 minutes

    Includes: Quiz

  5. Functions, Modules & Type Safety

    Master the logic structures that make programs make decisions and repeat actions — with real-world patterns, not textbook exercises.

    Duration: 30 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  6. AI-Assisted Coding in Practice ★ NEW

    Learn to write functions that are clear, testable, and reusable — the building blocks of professional Python code.

    Duration: 25 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  7. Reading & Writing Files — Practical File I/O

    Learn to read from and write to files — the foundation of data processing, report generation, and automation.

    Duration: 25 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  8. Working with APIs — Fetching Real-World Data

    Learn to call web APIs, handle responses, and integrate external data into your Python programs.

    Duration: 30 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  9. Error Handling — Building Resilient Code

    Learn to anticipate, catch, and handle errors gracefully — so your programs fail safely instead of crashing silently.

    Duration: 25 minutes

    Includes: Quiz

  10. Data Analysis with Pandas

    Use the Pandas library to load, clean, transform, and analyse real-world datasets — the core skill of data-driven Python.

    Duration: 35 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise

  11. Automating Real-World Tasks

    Apply everything you have learned to automate repetitive tasks — from file processing to report generation to scheduled jobs.

    Duration: 25 minutes

    Includes: Quiz

  12. Capstone — Automated Sales Intelligence Pipeline

    Build a complete automated data pipeline that fetches, cleans, analyses, and reports on real-world data — applying every concept from the course.

    Duration: 40 minutes

    Includes: Quiz, Coding Exercise
