Learn Python From Scratch and Build 10 Programs

Python is a language with an easy to understand syntax. It has a rich coding environment and comes built in with a debugger and profiler. Due to its simplicity, it is easy for beginners to learn and is mostly used in areas such as data science and machine learning. This course is an introduction to Python programming and is ideal for students with no prior experience. In this course we cover data types, loops, dictionaries, file handling, error handling, functions, and Object–Oriented Programming, all with practical examples. The examples used in this course are drawn from real world scenarios such as working with files, extracting data from zip files, plotting graphs and analyzing data, performing repetitive tasks, working with CSV files and simple simulations. Finally, we put together all we have learnt and build 10 programs.

The Course is broken down into 11 sections

Section 1 Introduction

This section introduces the Python language, its motive for creation and where you can install the program. We also look at Pythons development environment IDLE and see how we can customize it. Moving forward we look at saving files on the cloud, where we can get help if we are stuck and finally build our first program.
