They will be able to test and find errors in their programs.

Course content

8 sections • 42 lectures • 5h 24m total length

Goals of this Course3:52
You will learn about printing, numbers, strings, if-elif-else, variables, taking input from the user, while loops, for loops and functions.
You will also be given LOTS of homework and MANY projects to do especially at the end to make sure you have learned those basic things before you advance to my Part 2 class.
Who Should Take This Course?3:16
They will know if this video is right for them.
Installing Python 35:50
Most students can SAFELY skip this lecture. It just shows you how to install Python 3. You ONLY really need to know where to get the software. The rest you can do by yourself. I am sure you have installed many things on your computer before.
Installing Notepad++3:21
Most students can SAFELY skip this lecture. It just shows you how to install Notepad++. You ONLY really need to know where to get the software. The rest you can do by yourself. I am sure you have installed many things on your computer before.
Testing the Installation4:27
Here we will do a quick test to make sure that the installation worked.

Print Numbers Info6:54
The students will know what print is for and how to print numbers.
Printing Numbers9:31
In this video they will learn how to execute a file, print numbers and also get their first homework assignment.
Answers to Printing Numbers Homework9:07
This video will explain the answers to the homework in the previous video.
Print Strings Info3:31
This video will talk about strings and how to print them.
Printing Strings5:02
They will learn how to print strings.
Answers to Homework8:02
This will go over the answers for the homework.
Note: I forgot to go over one answer - so I am attaching a pdf to explain it. My apologies for that.

Introduce the if-elif-else idea8:03
This video talks about the if statement.
if-elif-else8:20
They will learn how to properly code the if-elif-else statement in Python.
Answers to if-then-else homework12:04
This video will show the answers to the homework given on if-elif-else video
Small Project4:30
This is a small project that will be done twice. Now and after we learn about functions/loops.
Small Project - Solution to Part A17:22
This video will go over the solution to the first part of the project.
Small Project - Solution to Part B18:22
This video will go over the solution to the 2nd part of the project. NOTE: I know this LOOKS terrible and that is HOW it is supposed to look. This should NEVER be done without functions!!!! If you think this is too hard to follow then just wait till we do it again with functions. Then you will see why it SHOULD be done with functions! I only gave it this way so you would have an appreciation for functions when you learn them.

Project 1 - Go To A House2:18
This video gives the instructions for the first project.
Project 1 - Go To A House - Solution12:26
This video will go over the solution to Going To A House.
Project 2 - Going To A House - Automated2:26
This will talk about the requirements for the 2nd project.
Project 2 - Going To A House - Automated - Solution6:54
This will show the solution to the 2nd project.
Project 3 - Barney Fife Chases Town Drunk8:03
This project is for you to Chase the Town Drunk. The video explains the rules.
Project 3 - Barney Fife Chases Town Drunk - Solution19:41
This video will go over the solution of the Chase the Town Drunk.
Project 4 - Barney Fife Chases Town Drunk Automated2:23
This project will talk about Project 4, which is just making Project 3 Automated.
Project 4 - Barney Fife Chases Town Drunk Automated - Solution8:55
This video goes over the answer on how to make Project 3 automated.
Project 5 - Triangle (Competition Problem)3:23
This video will describe an easy competition problem.
Project 5 - Triangle (Competition Problem) - Solution10:37
This video will give the solution to the competition problem.
Project 6 - Border Window (Competition Problem)2:30
This video will go over the requirements for the border window competition project.
Project 6 - Border Window (Competition Problem) - Solution16:03
This video will go over the solution to the Border Window Project.

What you have learned3:37
This video will remind you what you have learned.
What is coming next2:44
I said that Lists were coming next. I decided I needed to cover strings first since we will deal with strings a lot inside of lists. So, my next project is strings. It is currently under development. It will be ready in about 30 days. So, look for Learn Python Programming at a Snail's Pace - Part 2 to come out soon.

Requirements

Absolutely NO Previous Programming - I promise!!!
You should know how to use Windows - create directory
You should know how to create a text file - using notepad or others

Description

You have probably been disappointed before when you tried other courses that said "no programming necessary" or "for beginners" and found out that after a few lectures they started going too fast. Well, this course and all future Python 3 Programming Courses by me will ALL be done at a Snail's pace so kids ( at least 13 years of age) and even grandparents can follow along. I was a University Teacher for many years and I was one of the few that enjoyed teaching the beginning classes so I can make sure they were prepared for the more advanced topics.

Be warned, if you are a programmer or pick things up quickly then you will NOT like this class! You will be bored silly!

This is Part 1 of the series. There will be MANY parts so you can slowly learn everything you need to know WELL! I broke it up into pieces so you will only learn a limited amount of material in each part but get lots of lessons/exercises in each part to reinforce your learning.

In this Part 1 you will learn printing, numbers, strings, if-elif-else, variables, taking input from the user, while loops, for loops and functions. There will be quite a few projects to do as well. All with worked out solutions.

Who this course is for:

Teenagers who have NEVER done programming (except maybe Scratch 2)
Adults who have NEVER done programming
College students who MUST take Python but can't follow the course at school because too fast
Anyone wanting to change careers and not worked with computer programming before.
