>> Hello everyone and welcome back to Intro
to Python here on Cybrary on Demand.
If you're watching this video then I have great news
and that great news is that you've beaten module 1.
You're now in module 2 which is the second half,
the homestretch of the Intro to Python course.
Because of the fact that there are people who
will have skipped over here just to focus
on the Python deep dives and not really worry about
the initial logic and computer science information,
I'm going to go ahead and do
a couple of things over again.
I'm going to reintroduce myself.
Again, I'm Joe Perry.
I'm the Director of Research here at Cybrary.
I have been a developer,
I'm a security researcher.
I'm a jack of basically all cybersecurity trades.
If it is a field of cybersecurity or most of IT,
I've done it at least once and
for a lot of it I've done it a couple of times.
I've worked in forensics.
I've been Red Team operator, I've pen tested.
If you can do it in
cybersecurity, I've at least tried it.
I spend a lot of my time in the federal government.
I worked with the Department of Defense,
the intelligence community,
just all over the federal government.
I've been fortunate that I've gotten to
work with a lot of different organizations and
different teams and just get to be
a part of a lot of really spectacular projects.
You can find me on Twitter @JosephRPerryIV1.
You can also find that
with the handle CripplingSecurities.
Then of course you can find me on LinkedIn.
That link that you can see there
will be included in these slides,
which will be part of the supplemental
materials for this class.
Module 2. What are we going to be doing here?
Now you'll recognize this slide if
you saw our intro videos.
This is all we're going to be focusing here on module 2.
It's going to be data types and logic.
We're going to talk about If, Elif and Else,
which we've talked about in our previous
module in an abstract way.
But here we're going to apply that into Python.
We're going to talk about For and Else in
Python and the special
relationship they have between them.
We're going to discuss While loops in Python.
We're going to learn about how to use logical escapes,
which are some pretty useful Python keywords for
short-circuiting some of those logical loops
and speeding up your programs.
We're going to talk about Python functions,
strings. We're going to do a deep dive.
We're going to learn about the methods of strings,
how to find new methods,
how to apply a couple of them,
and more than anything,
learn how to learn more about these things.
Strings, numbers, lists, and dictionaries.
We're going to spend a bunch of time on all of those.
Then of course we have a lab that will come
up after this that will give you
the chance to play with them.
I'm very, very excited to have you all here.
Again, this is one of my favorite things in
the entire world to be able to do.
I really hope that
you're enjoying yourself and that you're
finding this course instructive so far.
I think you're really going to enjoy module 2.
There is a lot more programming and a lot less slideshow.
As always, I'm your instructor Joe Perry.
Thank you so much for watching Intro to
Python here on Cybrary on Demand.
