Most importantly, you will know what the backend of a banking app actually looks like.

As the nature of this project based course is aimed toward beginners, hence, this course will include a basic Python warm up session where you will be taught basic fundamentals of Python which you need to master before getting to the project. Those are including but not limited to data/variable types, mathematical operations, conditional statements (if/else), for loop, while loop, getting data input from the user, creating function as well as its parameter. Therefore, if you are not confident with your Python skills, this course will provide you with what you need.

Last but not least, the most efficient way to be an expert is to learn by doing and that is exactly what you will do in this course.
