About

In this one-month Python course, we’ll cover the foundational concepts needed to start coding. You’ll learn Python syntax, variables, data types, input/output, operators, control flow (conditions and loops), functions, lists, string manipulation, and error handling. We’ll have two sessions each week on Saturday and Sunday, and no prior coding experience is needed. By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of Python fundamentals and be ready for more advanced topics.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

The topics in this course are interconnected, so if you miss a previous lesson, you may have difficulty understanding the next concept. It’s up to you whether you want to commit to learning, but try not to miss more than one session.
