AI Engineering Live Recording Stage 1: Python Fundamentals | Udemy

Welcome to Stage 1 of the AI Engineering Bootcamp — the foundation of your journey toward mastering AI and automation. Originally part of our live bootcamp series, this recorded edition allows you to learn at your own pace while building the essential Python skills needed for data analysis, AI, and IoT development.

Course Overview

This stage introduces you to the Python programming language from scratch. No prior coding experience is required. You will learn how to write clean and efficient code, understand programming logic, and build real-world mini projects that prepare you for advanced AI topics in later stages.

What You’ll Learn

• Python setup and development environment using Anaconda, VS Code, and Jupyter Notebook
• Core syntax, data types, variables, and operators
• Conditional statements and loops (for, while, if-else)
• Functions and modules for code reusability
• Working with lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries
• File handling and error management
• Practical projects for automation and problem-solving
• Preparing for Stage 2: Python for Data Analysis

Who This Course Is For

• Beginners with little or no programming experience
• IT support specialists and system administrators transitioning into automation roles
• College students or recent graduates starting a career in technology
• Freelancers and job seekers interested in Python and AI projects
• Professionals upskilling for remote or AI-related opportunities

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this stage, you will be able to:

• Write Python scripts to solve real-world problems
• Automate daily tasks and data workflows
• Understand object-oriented and procedural programming concepts
• Build the confidence to progress into AI, data, and IoT applications

Final Project

You will complete a small automation or data processing project that demonstrates your understanding of Python fundamentals — an essential addition to your portfolio before advancing to Stage 2.
