If yes, then this course can help!
Python is by far the most popular programming language today. 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 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. Even more, quite often, the top-paying companies in the software industry shall require you, the technical writer in the team, to be able to not only read and understand the Python source code but also to develop sample code exercises that enrich the developers’ documentation.
But how can you do that if you are just a technical writer and you’ve never written a single line of code?! You should find someone to show you and guide you in this software development jungle, preferably – fast so that you can get back to writing the documentation that helps your target users!
In this course, that’s exactly what we cover!
Our top expert in Python, Ph.D. Sehrish Aqeel shares her vast experience with Python in her friendly and relaxed way. She has more than 14 years of experience teaching at the University and online. And now, she shares her knowledge with the technical communications community via this course.
