The Fundamentals of Programming with Python is a from-scratch introduction to Python built for people with zero coding background.

What to expect

Instructor Tim Ruscica explains each concept in depth with worked examples, and encourages you to type the code along with him and experiment with your own small programs as you go rather than just watching passively.

What you'll build up

  • Core programming skills that transfer beyond Python itself
  • A solid grasp of Python's syntax and constructs
  • Comfort navigating every topic covered across the course

No prior experience is required, just a computer to code on.
