Introduction2:33
Course Requirements2:23
Install the Jupitus lab package and Jupiter labs, verify browser compatibility (Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer), and review basic concepts like variables, math functions, user input, if statements, and loops.
Programming Support2:16
Contact the instructor via profile messaging and discuss with peers to receive expert advice. Use Stack Overflow as a free resource and practice asking questions to deepen your Python understanding.
Workbook2:18
Use the workbook to follow along with scripts and examples from all lessons, turning challenges into practical notes. Take end-of-lesson quizzes to reinforce key points with answers.

Lists Introduction2:37
Lists Practical7:53
Strings Introduction2:34
Explore strings as ordered text, using the 'I am John' example to learn zero-based indexing and character positions. Understand single and double quotes and practice slicing.
Strings Practical5:08
Slicing and Indexing Introduction5:42
Slicing and Indexing Practical9:09
Formatting Introduction5:50
Formatting Practical5:24
Master practical formatting in Python by using the format method to insert variables into strings, order values with indices, and control decimal precision.
Dictionaries Introduction4:11
Explore dictionaries by creating key–value pairs, retrieving data with keys using square brackets, and nesting dictionaries or lists; learn that dictionaries are not ordered and store data as product keys.
Dictionaries Practical6:23
Learn to create and access dictionaries and nested dictionaries using keys, including storing lists, retrieving values with keys, and using temporary variables to hold results.
Tuples Introduction3:48
Tuples Practical5:12
Sets Introduction2:50
Explore how sets enforce uniqueness by storing values only once and using add to insert new items, and convert lists to sets to remove duplicates.
Sets Practical3:43
Learn how sets enforce unique values in Python by creating sets with set(), adding elements, and observing that duplicates are ignored and that string case matters.
Methods and Functions Introduction4:17
Functions Practical2:46
Define and call functions in Python, create a basic function, print greetings like hello world or hello John, and reuse these functions to save code and build efficient programs.
Advanced Functions Practice7:19

Description

Welcome to my Advanced course on Python Programming!

My name is Matthew Dewey. I am an experienced programmer, having received several accolades on programming in my formal education as well as taught several programming languages to thousands of students. My goal is to provide you, the budding programmer, the the knowledge you need on programming in an easy and fun manner. In this course I do just that and with one of the most useful IDEs coupled with the Java programming language.

Python, a wonderfully simple programming language that has encouraged many programmers to pursue careers involving Python over any other language. Of course, it goes without saying that Python is an excellent language, but do you know what is required of you in a programming career?

There are many skills in programming that are required in any form of the field, but what I plan to to teach you in this course is exactly what you will find on many job requirements as well as many advanced methods that will no doubt help you in the future.

In short, you will learn:

Advanced Python Methods
Data Collection
Data Processing and Storage
and BONUS tips and methods!

Go no further if you're looking for the course that will take you from a novice to an expert! With my course I can guarantee that the knowledge you learn will help you in your career or further studies on Python programming. I hope you enjoy the course and it helps you on your way into the world of programming!

"Programming is a form of art. It is logical creativity!"
