The “Python for Beginners” course introduces Python programming, designed for those with little to no prior experience. Upon completion, students will have a firm grasp of Python fundamentals and be equipped with the skills to start their journey in Python programming.

Python is a general-purpose programming language. It is an interpreted language, which makes it suitable for rapid development and prototyping of programming segments or complete small programs.

Python’s main advantages:

• Open source software, supported by Python Software Foundation
• Available on all major platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• It is a good language for new programmers to learn due to its straightforward, object-oriented style.
• It is well-structured, which aids readability.
• It is extensible (i.e. modifiable) and is supported by a large community that provides a comprehensive range of 3rd party packages.
