Master Python Using ChatGPT: Build Programs from Scratch

**This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.**

What if you could start building useful Python programs without memorizing complex syntax or spending months learning programming theory?

This practical course shows you how to use ChatGPT as your coding assistant to generate, understand, modify, and execute Python programs from scratch.

Rather than focusing on traditional coding-heavy approaches, the course teaches a modern workflow where you learn Python by working with ChatGPT-generated code and understanding how those programs function.

You'll begin by understanding what Python is, why it is widely used, and how it supports automation, data processing, software development, artificial intelligence, and business workflows.

Next, you'll learn how to set up the tools required for the course, including Python, Visual Studio Code, and ChatGPT.

Once your environment is ready, you'll create your first Python program using ChatGPT.

A major focus of this course is learning how to communicate effectively with AI.

You'll learn how to write structured prompts that help ChatGPT generate useful Python programs. You'll also discover how follow-up prompts can improve, refine, and customize generated code.

As the course progresses, you'll learn how Python programs work behind the scenes.

You'll develop an understanding of:

• functions

• loops

• file handling

• program workflows

• code structure

• common programming logic

The course uses practical projects to help reinforce learning.

You'll build automation programs that work with text files, generate passwords, evaluate password strength, manage task lists, and automate repetitive workflows.

You'll learn how to modify multiple text files automatically, convert text into sentence case, and combine multiple text files into a single file.

The course also introduces Excel automation using Python and ChatGPT.

You'll learn how to create new calculated columns, update spreadsheet data, and automate repetitive Excel-related tasks.

You'll also work with multiple Excel files and learn how to combine them into a single consolidated workbook.

In addition, you'll learn how to process CSV files using Python.

These lessons demonstrate how to read data, modify columns, transform values, and generate updated output files automatically.

The course concludes with an introduction to web application development using Flask.

You'll build a simple web-based word-count application and learn how Python can be used to create interactive applications beyond standalone scripts.

Throughout the course, you'll not only generate code with ChatGPT but also learn how to read, understand, and customize that code for your own requirements.

By the end of the program, you'll have practical experience using ChatGPT to accelerate Python development and automate common tasks using real-world examples.

Whether you're completely new to programming, an Excel user looking to automate repetitive work, a business professional exploring AI-assisted coding, or a student interested in Python, this course provides a practical introduction to modern Python development using ChatGPT.
