Introduction to Python Programming
Learn the basics of Python, one of the world’s most popular and beginner-friendly programming languages. This course covers fundamental concepts like variables, loops, functions, and more—perfect for anyone starting their coding journey.
Overview
Start your coding journey with Python, one of the most versatile and beginner-friendly programming languages in the world. This course is designed for absolute beginners and covers the essential building blocks of programming in a clear, practical way.
You’ll begin by learning how to set up your development environment and write your first Python program. From there, you’ll explore key programming concepts such as variables, data types, conditionals, loops, functions, and error handling. You’ll also get introduced to working with lists, dictionaries, and basic file operations.
By the end of the course, you’ll have built small, hands-on projects to reinforce your learning and understand how Python is used in real-world applications—from automation to data analysis and web development.
Whether you’re looking to start a career in tech, automate tasks, or simply understand how coding works, this course will give you a solid foundation in Python programming.
