PCPP1™ – Certified Professional in Python Programming 1

(Exam PCPP-32-10x)

PCPP1™ – Certified Professional in Python Programming 1 certification (Exam PCPP-32-10x) is a professional credential that measures the candidate's ability to accomplish coding tasks related to advanced programming in the Python language and related technologies, advanced notions and techniques used in object-oriented programming, the use of selected Python Standard Library modules and packages, designing, building and improving programs and applications utilizing the concepts of GUI and network programming, as well as adopting the coding conventions and best practices for code writing.

The PCPP1™ certification shows that the individual is familiar with the following concepts: advanced use of classes and modelling real-life problems in the OOP categories (classes, instances, attributes, methods; class and instance data; shallow and deep operations; inheritance and polymorphism; extended function argument syntax and decorators; static and class methods; attribute encapsulation; composition and inheritance; advanced exceptions; copying object data; serialization; metaclasses), best practices and standardization (PEP8, PEP 257, code layout, comments and docstrings, naming conventions, string quotes and whitespaces, programming recommendations), GUI programming (events, widgets, geometry, tools and toolkits, conventions), the elements of network programming (network sockets, client-server communication, JSON and XML files in network communication, HTTP methods, CRUD, building a simple REST client), and file processing and communicating with a program's environment (processing files: sqlite3, xml, csv, logging, and configparser; communication: os, datetime, io, and time).

Becoming PCPP1™ certified ensures that the individual is fully acquainted with all the essential, intermediate, and advanced means provided by Python 3 and related technologies to enable them to advance their career as a professional Python developer and continue studies at the advanced level.

PCPP1™ certification is a professional high-stakes credential, an interim step to the PCPP2™ certification, and the means to demonstrate high-level Python expertise across multiple fields of programming in Python and using related technologies. Becoming PCPP1™ certified shows that the certification holder possesses a high degree of technical knowledge, work independence, and the skills that allow them to pursue programming careers at junior and middle level.
