Computer screen with the term python superimposed on it.

Some time ago we presented you some interesting courses about R. On this occasion, we are giving a second article on online training, but this time on another of the most popular programming languages in the world of data science: Python.

Python is a high-level programming language used to develop applications of various kinds. This language presents a big difference with respect to other languages such as Java or .NET, since Python is an interpreted language.

Python is a language that is easy to read and write thanks to its similarity to the human language. It is a free and open source cross-platform language, which encourages the possibility of developing software without limits.

In recent years, this language has gained followers thanks to its simplicity and the wide possibilities it offers to collaborate with other fields such as artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning or data science, among others.

Below is a selection of courses and training based on the recommendations of the experts who collaborate with datos.gob.es and some user communities such as Python Canarias that have collaborated in the creation of this list.
