A Python Tale • A Relaxed Programming Course for Beginners
About this course
A different way of learning to code in Python. This course takes you through the basics of programming in a teaching style that's friendly and relaxed.The focus is on clarity and really understanding what's going on.I've been teaching Python coding for a decade and I'm the author of The Python Coding Book (just ask Google for a "python book"!)My teaching style is different. Try out the first few lessons and if it's your style, then we'll be together for a many hours.No prior experience of Python or coding is required. This is a beginner's course.Or perhaps you're not a beginner, but you've done a bit of coding in the past but didn't carry on. It wasn't you, it's likely you didn't find the resources that speak directly to you. I can't promise my style is what you're looking for, but you'll know after the first few lessons!In this course you'll learn:How to apply the key principles and mindset for communicating with a computer through programmingHow to repeat blocks of code using `for` loops and `while` loopsHow to store data using variables and using various data typesHow to define your own functions to re-use codeHow to use data structures including lists, dictionaries, and tuplesHow to read data from external text files and spreadsheets and write data to these file formatsHow to apply best practices when codingThis course will teach you all the fundamental tools, of course, but more importantly, it will teach you the right mindset for programming. This is just as important as learning all the programming techniques—if not more important.And you'll also meet Monty, the main character in an analogy I love which I'll share with you in this course—trust me, this a
