Learning Python
There is great value in learning a programming language. Join my online class to learn Python the fun way! Acquire technical and critical thinking skills, as we build programs and a game together!
This course provides a solid foundation in programming using Python. They will learn to work with variables, data types, lists, loops, conditional logic, and functions, while creating their own Python applications.
The knowledge they learn through this course, will be able to transfer to other programming languages, and an understanding with fundamental programming skills.
Objectives
- Acquire fundamental understanding using programming constructs while creating programs, applying critical thinking
- Work with user input to build interactive applications while laying down a solid foundation of programming knowledge and critical thinking
- Gain an understanding for data types, variables, conditional logic, looping, lists, dictionaries and functions
Prerequisites
- No prior experience is required
- You will need access to the internet
- You will need access to a computer, with the ability to download Python or access a website
Pricing
Compared to Code Wizards ($447 for 12 sessions) I purposely made this course price point to fit your budget. My Python Level 1 Course: $ 60.00 per student.
