Programming Essentials with Python: Cloud Technology and SaaS

What is the cloud computing architecture and how does it use Python programming? This second course in the Python ExpertTrack dives deep into cloud computing. Learn how to explain the advantages, challenges, and potential opportunities of different cloud architectures. Further insights will be provided into Python, the most widely used programming language. Its primary functions will be covered, as well as how to use its data structures. Cloud computing has revolutionized the way computer power is delivered from networks to intelligence, offering innovation, flexibility, and economies of scale.

This course will explain the basics of cloud computing and its history. This course will help you identify the main players in cloud computing and give you a better understanding of the impact it has on business and the wider community. You'll also learn about cloud computing services and how to evaluate them against the potential risks and challenges. We'll be discussing IaaS (Infrastructure and a Service), Saas(Software as a Service) and FaaS ("function as a Service") infrastructure services and the potential benefits, challenges, and opportunities that cloud computing offers. The course's final week will focus on Python, one of the most common and straightforward programming languages. You'll learn how to use its main functions and how to compare its four built in data structures list (tuple), dictionary, set and dictionary.
