What is an "RE"?

Memorably designed as well as incredibly popular, it is no exaggeration to say that Regular Expressions (REs) predate the advent of almost every modern programming language; from Artificial Intelligence to data extraction and validation, nothing compares to the power of the Regular Expression!

Powerful enough to be part of every programming tool kit, as well as virtually every programmer's editor and countless console tools, when it comes to quickly understanding data, REs have dominated the data processing landscape for decades.

But with great power, often comes an even greater ability to leave new students behind!

Because REs can be difficult to understand at first, our RE Training has been designed with new students in mind. To help build confidence, this critical learning experience begins slowly.

Learning Experiences

Never a mere ‘type and talk,’ like all of our other hands-on training opportunities, this beginner's ("1000 level") training gradually allows you to practice what you have learned. Like our many other educational opportunities, our RE training has been crafted with just-in-time review sessions, hands-on practice activities, challenger exercises, as well as bonus activities. Encouraging you to experiment with, as well as to push the limits of Pythons built-in RE support, the complete source code for each and every demonstration, as well as for each activity and solution, is provided.

Committed as we are to provide deeper learning experience, from wildcards, escape sequences, greedy matches, character classes, set matching, match negation, group matching & naming, looking ahead and behind syntax, as well as even the modern Perl and Python Extensions, our RE educational opportunity covers the complete set of what students will need to know to become RE gurus on-the-job.

So while seldom taught in-depth, as well as even less frequently mastered, not only will our training on understanding Regular Expressions make your data detection, extraction, and management chores a lot easier, but mastering REs is a great way to impress future employers and other software developers, as well.

I hope you will enjoy this training opportunity. I am looking forward to seeing YOU in the professional software development world!
