Description

In this free, brief course we'll cover all the fundamentals of building python scripts. We'll go through everything you need to know and understand in Python (and we'll do it quick too.) In this one hour course we'll cover more topics than what many other courses cover in multiple hours. We focus on understanding with examples and scenarios rather than all the technical use cases. Once you have a working knowledge of all the components, all the technical use cases come easy.
