Course details
Python is a versatile programming language used across many domains, including data analysis and web development. This course provides a clear starting point for learning how to program with Python—even if you’ve never written a line of code before. Instructor Arianne Dee introduces the fundamentals of the language through hands-on coding, small programming problems, and larger text-based challenges.
Designed for beginners, the course includes helpful context, such as how Python compares to other programming languages and guidance on how to continue learning after the course. You begin by setting up Python and choosing a code editor, then move into core concepts including data types, conditionals, functions, loops, and lists. Arianne also introduces dictionaries, reading from files, classes, and importing external libraries. In later lessons, you get brief introductions to data analysis and web programming. The course also explores how AI can support the programming process, with these discussions included alongside the core Python instruction.
