What will you learn in this section?1:21
Python Documentation7:21
You'll learn how to navigate Python documentation. Every programming language has its own official documentation. In this class, you'll learn how to use Python's documentation effectively.
Since programming languages are usually open for public use, they offer their own documentation pages. For Python, you can access the main documentation page attached in here.

Calculate a person’s age from their birth year using variables and the current year, practice camel case naming, and print the result in a hands-on age calculator script.
Input Explanation1:36
Explore how the input function mirrors printing with printf, shows messages on screen, collects user input, stores data, and blocks code until the user types.
Input in Coding5:27
Learn how the input function captures keyboard data, returns a value assigned to a variable, waits for user input in the console, and differs from the print function.

Description

An Software Engineer has the skills to code proficiently and is familiar with at least one programming language and database concepts. Even in the world with AI and AI Agents knowing the fundamentals of software engineer is important if you want to go a step ahead of building applications. As a Software Enginner you must be comfortable using code version control systems like git, mercurial, or svn. You will contribute to the development and maintenance of software applications. Your responsibilities include coding, testing, and debugging software.

My course focuses on practical application rather than theory, allowing you to develop your skills through hands-on coding experiences, the most important things for the moment and the important knowledge that even using ai to code will must have. The main idea here is to give you enough required knowledge to be able to work as a software engineer.

My focus is to have a fun course where you'll enjoy the process of learning and creating real applications and when you realize, you'll be coding. I'm going to show you that code is not a rock science but a creative process and a nice activity that you'll want to do even outside of work.

Lets onboard with me in this process of learning!

Who this course is for:

Absolute beginners looking for their first profession or contemplating a bold career shift.
Students exploring their career options in tech.
Individuals in love with modern tools yet beginners in coding.
Anyone interested in pivoting into the dynamic world of Software Engineering.
Aspiring coders curious about programming but hesitant about costly, intensive bootcamps.
