Introduction to Python- The basics with Hands-On in 2 hours!

"Rick’s courses are great. He explains the topics and concepts well, and provides additional downloadable content (slides, study guides and lab manuals) to enhance the learning experience for those different types of learners. It’s like always getting the “good teacher” year after year."  - Chris

"It's an excellent course for someone who is new to Python and also for someone who needs a refresher. All the tasks are well explained with examples and its quite easy to follow along."

Are you brand new to Python? Are you a beginner programmer? Have you found that many of the training resources out there use complex technical jargon that make it difficult to understand the basic concepts? If you need to get a working knowledge of Python quickly and clearly, this is the course for you.

This course answers the questions:

• How do I install Python and start writing code using Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook?

• What are the key skills that I must have to write basic Python code?

• How do I use print functions, loops (while, for), variables, and conditional (else/if) statements in my code?

• What are common errors and how can I easily test and debug my code?

I have taught hundreds of thousands of students across a variety of platforms, and I think anyone who needs to understand Python will love this course. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 10 minutes long. This course gives you an understanding of the most critical Python skills. It is a practical course that will have you writing and testing code quickly.

If you need the basics of Python, this course will give you a strong foundation and is the ideal starting point.
