Introduction to Python Programming

Module 1: Course Introduction, Intro to Programming and The Python Language, Variables, Conditionals, Jupyter Notebook, and IDLE
⏳  8 hours

• This first module covers an introduction to programming and the Python language. You’ll start by downloading and installing the necessary tools to begin programming and writing code in Python. After learning how to print to the console, you’ll get an understanding of Python’s basic data types and how to do simple math. You’ll follow up by creating your first Python script and learn how to define and assign variables while controlling the flow of your program using conditionals. You’ll also learn how to get input from the user, including some very basic error checking.Coursera+1Coursera+1

Module 2: Loops and Iteration
⏳  6 hours

• This module introduces loops and iteration in Python. You’ll learn how to use ‘for’ and ‘while’ loops to execute code repeatedly, understand loop control statements like ‘break’ and ‘continue’, and apply these concepts to solve problems efficiently.

Module 3: Functions and Modules
⏳  7 hours

• In this module, you’ll delve into functions and modules. You’ll learn how to define and invoke functions, understand the scope of variables, and explore the use of modules to organize and reuse code effectively.

Module 4: File Handling and Error Handling
⏳  7 hours

• The final module focuses on file handling and error management. You’ll learn how to read from and write to files, handle exceptions gracefully, and implement error checking to build robust Python programs.
