Python reads almost like English, which makes it a good first programming language. This course takes you from installing Python to writing a small program of your own.

What you will learn

  • Install Python and run code in the interactive shell
  • Work with numbers, text and lists
  • Make decisions with if and repeat work with loops
  • Write a complete program: a tip calculator

How the course works

Lessons open in order: each one builds on the last, so the next lesson unlocks when you finish the one before. The final quiz needs 70%.
