Description:
Python 101 is a course aimed at anyone wanting to learn Python programming. Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. You can use Python for web development, automation, machine learning, AI, and so much more. Employers in all markets hire Python developers. This course is based on my popular book, Python 101: 2nd Edition. The course currently covers just the first section of the book, but I plan to add many additional lessons so that you will learn a ton about what you can do with Python!In this course, I teach the basics of Python. For it's initial release, the topics that you will learn are as follows:The REPLStringsListsTuplesDictionariesSetsStringsBooleans and NoneConditional statementsLoopsComprehensionsException HandlingFilesImportsFunctionsClassesMore lessons will be added to expand this course, but the lessons included now will give you a great foundation in the Python programming language.Future enhancements to this course will cover introspection, Python virtual environments, threading, multiprocessing, debugging, decorators, profiling, unit testing, version control, and more.If you take a look at the Python packaging index (PyPI), you will quickly see that there are tens of thousands of third-party packages that you can install. While you will never know how to do everything in Python, the fundamentals you will learn here will serve you well.
