Python for Beginners - Start to Code with Python

Description

Python is an excellent language to start programming with, it is powerful and easy to get started with. You can see results and run the code right away and most computers require truly little setup to start coding. This course is designed for beginners to get introduced to Python, learn how to write Python code, and create applications. This course starts with a basic introduction to Python and helps in setting up the coding environment. Once our setup is ready, we can write our code in Python. Next, we will learn the fundamentals of basic coding with Python. We will cover variables, data types, user inputs, and more. Also, we will cover some code examples that will travel through every essential element of programming and help us understand how the entire programming of Python really works. Then, in the last section, we will be creating the following three simple projects with Python to practice what we have learned. Projects such as the Countdown timer project, Dice game in Python where the highest roll wins, and Rock Paper Scissors game. By the end of this course, you will be able to write Python code on your own.
