There are 2 modules in this course

This course is designed to equip learners with foundational and practical knowledge of Python scripting and programming. Through hands-on lessons and structured exercises, learners will identify Python’s core components, set up their programming environment, and apply basic constructs such as variables, user input, and conditional logic to write simple scripts.

As the course progresses, learners will develop proficiency in using loops, lists, and tuples to manage repetitive tasks and structured data. They will then construct reusable code using functions, implement object-oriented concepts with classes, and interact with the Python shell to test, refine, and execute code dynamically. By the end of the course, learners will be able to analyze problem scenarios, design modular code structures, and build interactive programs using Python’s key scripting features. This course is ideal for beginners aiming to comprehend, apply, and demonstrate foundational Python skills in real-world scripting scenarios

This module introduces learners to the foundational concepts of Python scripting. It begins with the installation and setup of the Python environment and progresses through the essential programming constructs such as variables, user input, and control flow statements. Learners will gain a hands-on understanding of how to write simple scripts and apply decision-making logic using Python’s if, elif, and else structures. By the end of this module, learners will be equipped with the knowledge required to build basic, interactive Python programs and apply logical thinking to automate decision flows.
