Description
Are you a technical writer who wants to learn about the Python programming language? Or do you want to advance your career as a technical writer in the software development industry?
If your answer is yes, then this course can help you!
Python is currently the most popular programming language in the world. According to SlashData, “there are now 8.2 million developers in the world who code using Python, and that population is now larger than those who build in the Java language.”
If you are serious about your technical writing career, you must be able to communicate efficiently with your development team about the software code they have been developing. Moreover, top-paying companies in the software industry often require technical writers to not only read and understand Python source code but also to develop sample code exercises that enrich developers’ documentation.
But how can you do that if you’re just a technical writer who has never written a single line of code? You should find someone to show and guide you through this software development jungle, preferably quickly so that you can get back to writing documentation that helps your target users!
This course is designed to help technical writers learn Python programming language in order to communicate more efficiently with their development team and develop sample code exercises for documentation.
Ph.D. Sehrish Aqeel, a top expert in Python from JPDocu School of Technical Writing, shares her vast experience with Python in a friendly and relaxed manner. She has over 14 years of experience teaching at the university and online, and now she shares her knowledge with the technical communications community through this course through practical explanations and hands-on exercises.
By the end of the course, participants will become technical writers who can confidently read and understand Python source code, use Python terminology, and develop a simple application following the instructor’s guidelines.
You will soon realize that Python language can be easy to understand and learn when you have the right teacher. There is no complicated theory, just practical explanations, and simple hands-on exercises to smoothly introduce you to the language. Of course, this course does not aim to turn you into a developer – do not expect to gain solid development skills here. However, by the end of this course, you will become a technical writer who can read and understand Python source code, use Python’s terminology confidently, and get the chance to develop a simple application yourself, following the instructor’s guidelines.
So, enroll now and see how simple and easy Python can be. Impress your development team with the skills of a professional technical writer who knows Python language too!
