Introduction to Python

Welcome to the course introduction to Python! In this course, you will learn a lot about the language and programming in general. This course is designed for complete beginners or people who already know another programming language but want to learn Python and enhance their knowledge in this field.

Python is one of the most popular languages and is used across many disciplines to solve various tasks. It is widely used in Machine Learning, Web Development, Robotics, and many automation tasks. In the last 10 years, the language has gained huge popularity among programmers and tech companies. It is currently considered the most popular language according to many reports.

🤔 How...?

In this course, you learn by doing! Each concept has several interactive challenges that you will solve to pass on to the next one. We believe that hands-on learning is the best way to get in-depth knowledge. Here you will have many challenging and at the same time interesting exercises to practice each and every concept that is covered.

You will study at your own pace. You can go hard and complete several levels in one week, or take it slow and focus on each concept for longer.

There is a forum to ask questions and get unstuck. You can ask or answer the questions of others under each challenge.
