The first course is "Python for programmers". The class will be held every Wednesday from 6:30 - 9:30 pm starting from Jan 22, 2020 to Mar 25, 2020 . The course will cover the most important aspects of Python and will be very hands-on with in-class activity and homework. I will also provide Jupyter notebook that will contain many examples. To register for the course, visit https://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=5591127&SectionID=6767001 and select section CMPR.X416.(34). The second course is "Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence with TensorFlow". The class will held every Saturday from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm starting from Jan 11, 2020 to Mar 28, 2020 . The course will cover Tensorflow, numpy, multilayer perceptron, CNN and RNN and will be very hands-on with in-class activity and homework. I will also provide presentations and Jupyter notebooks that will contain many examples. To register for the course, visit https://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=5837157&SectionID=6765097 UCSC Extension Silicon Valley is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz. Hence, many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. You can email me at chityala at gmail.com if you have any questions.

This is an intermediate course that is designed for people who have a basic understanding of the Python language, and want to go on to the next level of programming. It assumes that you have taken an introductory course at UCSC-Extension or elsewhere (or have learned Python on your own), and can write small to medium sized programs in Python. The focus of the course is on getting a solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP). The approach is to use simple computer games, which we will build using the Pygame package. I will explain how graphical user interface elements (GUI) like buttons, text input/output boxes, radio buttons, etc. are built using OOP, and how they work in an "event-driven" program. We'll go into detail about the three main tenets of OOP: encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance. While my approach is to use games, the techniques being taught are applicable to almost all fields of software. The course starts Tuesday Jan 21, and will meet on eight Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30. The course will be very hands-on, with lots of sample programs. Sign ups are open to the general public and there is still time to register. The course fee is $750. UCSC-Extension Silicon Valley is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz, and many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. More details and sign ups are available at: https://www.ucsc-extension.edu/courses/python-object-oriented-programming/ If you have any questions, free to contact me directly at I Kalb at ucsc.edu Feel free to forward this listing on to anyone that you think might be interested.
