See why over 350,000 Simpliv members learn coding from Mark Lassoff and LearnToProgram.tv!Few programming languages provide you with the flexibility and pure power of Python.If you're becoming a professional developer, or are early in your development career, adding the Python skill set isn't just a resume embellishment. It's an empowering language that will allow you to write procedural code in many types of environments and for many uses.Python is commonly used for server side programming for complex web applications or as a middle tier language providing web services or a communication layer with larger ecommerce systems. That being said, it's also a great language for beginners. The clear syntax makes it very easy to learn, and the powerful libraries make all types of programming possible. There are libraries for everything from games and graphics to complex mathematics to network and embedded programming.Watch, Learn and DoProgramming is not a spectator sport and if you want to learn Python well, this course contains everything you need.Skill oriented instructor-led lectures will demonstrate each important Python skill. You'll be able to study and modify the code on your own to cement each topic. Python code coding lab exercises will familiarize you not just with Python syntax, but how real problem-solving in Python is done. You'll complete a more comprehensive project to help you integrate the different skills that are part of core Python.Who is the target audience?First time Python programmers

Course programme

Getting Started 5 lectures 26:30 About the Instructor Quick Start: Writing Your First Python Program Hit the road running and write your very first Python program in this first section. Even if you've never written a line of code before, this section will get you coding in Python! Using the Shell Window The IDLE environment includes the shell window and interactive mode. We'll try working in interactive mode in this section of the course. Writing Code in the Editor Window You'll spend most of your time coding in the code editor window. In this section, you'll join Mark, as he creates a program in the code window and executes it. Executing Python on the Command Line Remember the old "C" prompt? We're actually going to use it to compile and run our Python code.

We're going to look at command line output in this section. The print() Function There's a bit more than meets the eye when it comes to the print() function. We'll take a thorough look at print() output in this segment of the course. Separators and Newlines You can take more control of command line output by using separators and newline characters. Mark will demonstrate them in this section Output 3 lectures 10:39 Output: Section Introduction For the user to see results of a Python program, you have to understand output.

Mark will demonstrate them in this section Variables 6 lectures 36:21 Variables: Section Introduction You probably remember variables from your high school algebra class. Solve for 'x' was a common instruction. We'll be talking about variables and how they related to Python programming in this section of the course. Variable Assignment When you first create a variable and provide it a value the process is known as "variable assignment". Mark will demonstrate the process in this video. Number Variables (Int, float and complex) Python handles several types of values. We'll survey integers, floating point numbers and complex numbers in this section. String Variables One of Python's strengths is the ability to process strings. You'll learn how to use string variables in Python in this segment of the course Substrings and Concatenation Python let's you easily manipulate substrings and concatenate strings. Mark will show you how in this course video. Variables with Lists, Tuples and Dictionaries Variables can hold single values, but also more complex structures such as lists and tuples. We'll introduce the concepts of lists and tuples in this section. Variables. 6 lectures 36:21 Variables: Section Introduction You probably remember variables from your high school algebra class.
