Python Quick Start: 100 Minutes Guide

Install python on windows by downloading python 3.12 for all users, run the installer with customize installation, verify with cmd, install jupyter with pip, and launch notebooks.

Install Python and pip on Linux with apt to ensure the latest versions, then install and launch Jupyter Notebook, using a virtual environment if pip install fails.

Install Python on macOS, download and run the latest installer, then verify python3 --version and pip3 --version; install Jupyter with pip3 and launch with python3 -m notebook.

Learn how to use variables and data types, including integers, floats, strings, and booleans, and perform arithmetic, comparison, and logical operations in Python.

Master Python data structures—lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets—covering creation, indexing, slicing, and methods like append, insert, remove, pop, sort, and set operations.

Explore Python control flow with conditional statements (if, elif, else) and loops (for, while), including break, continue, and pass in practical examples.

learn how to define reusable functions with the def keyword, pass parameters and arguments, return values, and call functions to print results or manipulate data.

Explore error handling with try, except, finally to prevent crashes, and work with modules, libraries, and file operations, including reading, writing, and appending in Python.

Explore Python strings, learning concatenation and formatted string usage to build messages. Use common methods like lower, upper, strip, replace, and split, noting that strings are immutable.

Build a Python todo list app by adding, listing, completing, and removing tasks using functions, list methods, enumerate for numbering, and f-strings for output.

Explore object oriented programming with Python, focusing on classes, objects, and inheritance. Observe polymorphism and practical examples through an animal class and its subclasses.
