What you'll learn

  • Write and run your first Python programs
  • Understand Python data types (without the confusion)
  • Use variables, expressions, and statements correctly
  • Work confidently with numbers and math helpers
  • Master strings: formatting, indexing, and escapes
  • Handle type conversions like a pro
  • Apply operator precedence (and stop getting weird results)
  • Build beginner-friendly logic with booleans

In this course you’ll go from “what is Python?” to writing real code you understand. Set up your workflow, learn the rules that trip beginners up, and practice the essentials, so you can read, write, and debug Python without the guesswork.

You’ll start with the big picture...what programming is, why Python is so popular, and how to actually run Python code using an interpreter. Then we get practical: data types, numbers, variables, and the rules behind expressions, statements, and operator precedence.

From there you’ll level up your everyday Python skills with strings (formatting, indexing, escape sequences), type conversion, built-in functions, and booleans. Plus all along the way you’ll reinforce what you learn with quick exercises so that it sticks.

By the end, you'll have fallen in love with Python and be able to use your new skills to start doing and building awesome things!
