This course will be useful to anyone new to programming. You will learn how to set up a Python development environment and develop a simple application. You will also perform operations on simple data types like strings and numbers, as well as on more data structures like lists, ranges, tuples, dictionaries, and sets.

Before you start developing programming projects in Python®, you must set up a computer with the tools you need. Once you have done so, you can create a new programming project, and start writing and testing your code.

What's included

1 reading7 plugins

In any programming language, knowing how to work with data types is essential. Not all data types are the same, and being able to recognize what you can and can't do with each will help you make the most of your Python® code.

What's included

4 plugins

You've processed simple data types, but Python® also supports more complex data structures. These data structures make almost any application, no matter how large and complex, much more powerful and easy to write.
