What Is Python And Why Learn It?
Python is a powerful programming language used in a variety of professions, ranging from data science to web development. It’s in the top 10 for “Most Popular” and “Most Loved” technologies (according to Stack Overflow’s 2016 Developer Survey), making it a relatively friendly language for beginners. It teaches all coding concepts like variables, lists, loops and if statements, data structures and libraries.
Learning Python will enable you to program pretty much anything easily. The computer language Python is very important for data science enthusiasts. We live in a world of data, using it to understand customer trends and needs is very critical for companies to succeed.
Details Of Python Course:
What are the details of our Programming Foundations with Python Course?
Learn the fundamentals of the Python programming language, along with programming best practices. Learn to represent and store data using Python data types and variables, and use conditionals and loops to control the flow of your programs. Create games and real-life applications using coding elements like lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples to store collections of related data.
Best part? You will also learn how to think, talk and act like a Coder.
Prerequisites:
No previous programming knowledge needed. But atleast 10 hours of Block Coding experience is recommended. So kids understand the basics of how to make a machine think before they head towards making complex logic work.
Explain About Trinket:
Trinket is the animation tool that we’re going to be using to learn Python. Think of it as your own robot that you’re going to give instructions to follow. It can help you draw the shapes and designs that you want.
So, we’re using the language of Python in the tool called Trinket. Basically, Trinket is an add on that adds the visual component and animation to the boring lines of code we write.
Before you start coding, you will need an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). An IDE is a software that you can create, edit, and run programs in.
An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of at least a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger.
Our curriculum covers topics like what coding is, how code works, the program concepts of flow, loops, algorithms, conditional logic and clauses. The semantics and syntax can evolve as they understand the concepts and start practicing.
