Welcome to Python for Beginners: Learn how to code properly in 2021.This course is designed to teach an absolute beginner the basics of Python. Python is a language that needs no introduction. Its incredibly powerful, versatile, fast and its easy to learn.However, given its rapid rise in popularity over the last few years, there are loads of tutorials and guides out there which teach bad practices.Our goal is to change that, by creating a course which gives you a head start, by teaching best practices and underlying concepts. This course covers:The foundations of Python such as how to setup your machine, using the tools, syntax, packages and virtual environmentsHow to organise your code using conditions, functions and modulesWorking with data and large files, and Object Oriented ProgrammingHandling errors and exceptions, using various debugging toolsConnectivity with third part servicesTo take this course, you will need:Access to a computer running Windows or macOSAn internet connectionA positive can-do attitudeThis course combines the best of both theoretical explanations and hands-on coding challenges, into a complete beginner course to get you started with Python.As we emphasise in the trailer, a positive attitude is needed for programming. Although this course is designed for beginners, each person learns at their own pace and style. Programming is a hard concept to grasp in the beginning, but with repeated practice, patience, and self-love you will come to understand it. Dont be discouraged if you have to re-watch sections over-and-over again. Reach out to other developers, especially those at the same level as you. I taught myself how to code as a child by connecting with other developers online. I shared problems with them, studied their code, shared my code, and applied the problem solving method covered in the introduction of this course (its free to watch).  I also helped other developers fix their problems, which was key for cementing my knowledge and contributing to the community.So, if you get stuck dont be afraid to ask questions, and if you know the answer to someone else\'s question, dont be afraid to answer it. This will help you learn faster, and build your profile in the developer community.And if no one else answers, I do my best to respond to all students\' questions within 7 days.Ready to get started? See you in the course.
