Welcome to module 3

As a security analyst, you'll work with a lot of data. Being able to develop solutions for managing this data is very important. What we're about to learn in Python will help you with that. Previously, we set foundations for what we're going to do in this section. We learned all about data types and variables. We also covered conditional and iterative statements. We learned about building functions and even created our own functions. Here, we'll build on that in a few different ways. First, you'll learn more about working with strings and lists. We'll expand the ways that you can work with these data types, including extracting characters from strings or items from lists. Our next focus is on writing algorithms. You'll consider a set of rules that can be applied in Python to solve a security-related problem. Finally, we'll further expand the ways we can search for strings when we explore using regular expressions. We're going to have a lot of fun, and you'll start writing some really interesting code in Python. I can't wait to get started.
