Python Programming

Python is easy to read, powerful and used everywhere, from data analysis to automation. This course teaches programming from the very beginning: variables, decisions, loops and functions, then files and simple data work. Each week you build a small project, such as a quiz game, an expense tracker and a script that tidies up your folders.

• Write and run Python programs from scratch
• Use variables, conditions, loops and functions
• Work with lists, dictionaries and text files
• Find and fix errors in your own code
• Automate repetitive tasks with small scripts
• Analyse simple data sets and present the results
