Welcome to a nine-part series on Python Programming for Beginners. We’ll go over the installation/setup, data types, conditionals, loops, functions, how to import modules and explore the standard library. You can find each individual video down below, or view the entire playlist here
Tutorial 1: Installation and Setup
In this video, we will start with the basics of how to install and setup Python for Mac and Windows. We will also take a look at the interactive prompt, as well as creating and running our first script. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 2: Strings
In this video, we will begin learning about the string data type. Strings allow us to work with textual data in Python. We will be going over different ways to format strings, and also a lot of useful string methods. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 3: Integers and Floats
In this video, we will begin learning about the string data type. Strings allow us to work with textual data in Python. We will be going over different ways to format strings, and also a lot of useful string methods. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 4: Lists, Tuples, and Sets
In this video, we will begin learning about Lists, Tuples, and Sets in Python. Lists and Tuples allow us to work with sequential data, and Sets allow us to work with unordered unique values. We will go over most of the methods, learn when to use which data type, and also the performance benefits of each type as well. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 5: Dictionaries
In this video, we will begin learning about dictionaries. Dictionaries allow us to work with key-value pairs in Python. We will go over dictionary methods, how to add and remove values, and also how to loop through the key-value pairs. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 6: Conditionals and Booleans
In this video, we will begin learning about if, elif, and else conditionals in Python. We will also be learning about Booleans and what evaluates to True and False. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 7: Loops and Iterations
In this video, we will begin learning about Loops and Iterations. Specifically, we will be looking at the for/while loops. We will learn about iteration and also how to break out of the loops using the break and continue keywords. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 8: Functions
In this video, we will begin learning how to write functions. Functions are one of the most important things to learn in Python Programming and will take us to the next level. We will learn how to create/define functions, how to pass in arguments, and also how to return values. Let’s get started.
Tutorial 9: Importing Modules and the Standard Library
In this video, we will begin learning how to import modules in Python. We will learn how to import modules we have written, as well as modules from the Standard Library. We will also explore sys.path and how imported modules are found. Let’s get started.
