Learn Python - The Fundamentals of Python Programming Language (Skillshare)

In this class we'll go over the building blocks of python. Once we understand all of these concepts, we'll be able to build anything and everything in python. Class Project! Let's make our own class object that we'll be able to initialize and creating instances of to help us in the future. Think about something you do that could be redundant in nature, tedious, or something along those lines.

Here's what we'll cover:

  1. Download and Install Python / Text Editor
    1. Syntax & Commenting
  2. Variables & Data Types
  3. Composite Data Types
  4. Numbers
  5. Lists
  6. Strings
    1. Tuples
  7. Sets & Frozensets
    1. Dictionaries
    2. If Loops
  8. While Loops
  9. For Loops
  10. Functions
  11. Class Objects

This will lead us into how we can utilize the true object oriented programming nature of python!
Then create a class object from what you've learned in the course and share if with the rest of us. That's the very nature of open source.
