Description

Welcome to the "Weekend Python Crash Course: From Zero to Code"! This beginner-friendly course is designed to take you from having no programming experience to confidently writing Python code in just two days. Whether you’re looking to enhance your skill set for career opportunities or dive into programming for personal projects, this course will provide you with a strong foundation in Python.We’ll begin by getting your environment set up, followed by an introduction to why Python is one of the most popular programming languages today. You’ll learn Python's core syntax and keywords, which form the backbone of any Python program. From there, we'll dive into variables, data types, and simple operations, which are essential for performing tasks within your programs.As the course progresses, we’ll cover control structures, including conditionals and loops, to help you create more dynamic programs. You’ll then move on to functions and modules, where you'll learn to organize your code into reusable blocks. By the end of the course, you'll understand the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP) through classes and objects—critical concepts for building complex, real-world applications.Throughout the course, you'll be challenged with quizzes and hands-on coding assignments to test your knowledge and solidify your learning. We’ll wrap up with file handling and I/O operations, enabling you to interact with external files and data.By the end of this weekend course, you’ll have the confidence and skills to continue your Python coding journey.
