Overview

In this course you will learn how to use one of the most popular programming languages–Python. We will be learning the modern Python 3 programming language which allows you to rapidly build programs whether you are a first-time programmer, new to the language, or an expert. No matter what level you are in your career, learning the Python3 programming language can help you tackle your personal or professional programming projects. This course will start with the fundamentals, and then you will apply fundamental skills by building small projects to apply what you have learned. This is the Python crash course that you can complete start to finish in a weekend.

Topics you’ll learn

Why you should take this course?

This course has been designed for students who are not trained with an undergraduate or advanced degree in computer science or software engineering. The original course materials were built for students with no background in programming–I work through concepts at a relatively slow and gentle pace, but I do not hide the details from you of how the language works. This course can be your introduction to programming using a beginner friendly programming language (but also a language that professionals use) that slowly builds on topics learned as we progress in each lesson.

This course is also compact, meaning you can complete it in a weekend as opposed to massive courses that are left unfinished and leave you wondering if you have big gaps in your knowledge when you revisit them. In this course, we learn a skill and then complete a small project where I give you time to build a solution, and then you can also work through my solution step by step with the reasoning ‘why’ not just ‘what to type’.

Some of the projects we build include:

These fun projects will help you unlock your potential as a you begin your programming journey!
