Python is a general-purpose coding language with applications in web development, data science, machine learning, fintech, and more. The Intermediate Python Nanodegree program equips you to leverage the capabilities of Python and streamline the functionality of applications that perform complex tasks, such as classifying files, data mining a webpage, etc. By the end of the program, you’ll have a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to apply practitioner-level Python skills on the job.
Overview
Syllabus
- Welcome to the Intermediate Python Nanodegree Program
- Advanced Python Techniques
- In this course, you will learn advanced Python skills and master a myriad of modern subject matter.
- Large Python Codebases with Libraries
- Learn how you can write, structure, and extend your code to be able to support developing large systems at scale. Understand how you can leverage open source libraries to quickly add advanced functionality to your code and how you can package your code into libraries of your own. Apply Object Oriented Programming to ensure that your code remains modular, clear, and understandable. Honing these skills are the foundations for building codebases that are maintainable and efficient as they grow to tens of thousands of lines.

This is not intermediate, it is advanced. The lecture content is broad and covers all the important topics you should know which is really positive. The tasks/projects are not clearly explained - many students find this frustrating and I found I spent more time trying to understand what was being asked of me rather than applying my knowledge. There are mentors on hand to ask specific questions but its not easy to go up to them and say 'I have no idea what you guys actually want, can you rewrite the whole project'.
Some people will find this course good but these are probably well versed already. Others may find it painful to get through... -
Working on this course, you learn so much being a more professional Python Software Engineer. The first NEO project is like 'real world' projects, having bugs, need to debug, thinking about better architecture and algorithms and nothing for beginners. I am curious working on the second project :-)
So, the course fits to my expectations. Thanks to all delivering this Python course! -
Udacity's Intermediate Python Nanodegree was the perfect crescendo, after going through the basic Python introductory courses. The emphasis was beyond the mere syntax and mechanics of the language, going into the Python flavor of usual programming paradigms: object oriented and functional. OOP received special attention, deservedly and forcing me to think through the implied perspectives opening. Each introduced topic had ample and very illuminating links at the bottom of the page - a great door towards the larger Python world. I've found the systematic introduction into module writing and usage to be very useful in my GitHub contribution efforts.
