Class Description: Are you ready to dive into the world of Python programming? In this self-paced class, learners will be guided step-by-step through the basics of Python programming and writing their first program (a simple guessing game)! Perfect for beginners, this course will ensure students are prepared to explore coding with confidence. What will be taught? By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: Understand and use basic Python concepts (variables, loops, conditionals, functions). Write simple Python programs using the syntax they have learned. Develop a basic text-based game (e.g., a number-guessing game). Learners are free to message me through Outschool with any questions as they progress through the course and I will always respond.
