The reason I made this course is simple. When I was learning Python, I would join courses that spent hours covering the most simple of topics and went far too in depth about niche features of Python I would probably not be using for a while.

Python is so well documented that if you know the basics, you can find out how to do the advanced things really easily.

So this course aims to give you a really good grounding in the basics of Python and will intentionally leave out the bits you're not going to use very often / ever.

We will cover:

• Creating & interacting with variables

• Using arithmetic functions

• Using comparison operators

• String functions

• Creating & interacting with lists, tuples and dictionaries

• If statements

• For & while loops

• Functions
