Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Networking with Python: Socket Programming for Communication
Raspberry Pi Foundation and National Centre for Computing Education
This course involved using sockets in Python programs to communicate over networks. Learners created Python programs demonstrating the use of sockets, and developed their own protocol for a networked quiz game. They also explored the causes of errors in network transmission, and how to correct them.
