Requirements

You need a working computer
A code editor to run python is required

Description

This course is an introductory level course to python, which is a high-level coding language used on a large scale today in society. We will be using Python 3 throughout this course and along side we will be using the PyCharm IDE by jetBeans as our editor. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of python and be able to code programs in this language. It requires no previous knowledge of python or any coding concepts, as you will learn completely from scratch. You will begin the course by starting to create simple programs that you can build and run using python. Eventually, you will be able to create more complex programs that can complete simple tasks such as math or other user interactive programs. After learning the basics you will move on to more complex concepts. These concepts include working with strings and lists as well as concepts like Lambda and JSON In addition, we will also cover GUI, CSV, and intro to machine learning. Upon completion of this course, you can expect to have a base foundation in your knowledge of python. If you are seeking to learn python from scratch or improve upon existing knowledge of python then this course is for you.
