Getting started with Python programming

The first few tutorials work on basic Python concepts like strings and lists, along with quizzes to check your understanding. Towards the end of the section, you'll learn about more involved topics like loops and functions, and do a lot of coding exercises.

Set-up and Installation

In this section, we'll guide you through installing Python. You'll also be installing a code editor (for writing Python code), and learning about the command-line interface (which will be used for running Python code and launching Python in interactive mode).

Except "Introduction to the Command-line Interface" (where you will be learning an important programming skill), the rest of the tutorials in this section should only take a few minutes each.

Note: Although we recommend doing the installations listed below, you can still follow along most of the course even if you skip it. Lastly, if you get really stuck at any of the installation steps, you can also use an Online IDEs for Python such as: https://repl.it/languages/python3.
