Introduction to the Python 3 Programming Language
Will Button
In Introduction to Python, we will start at the beginning: Installing python 3 and using virtual environments. With a working environment, we will learn how to manipulate strings and numbers, and gain working knowledge of data structures and flow control. We will build on that by introducing modules and classes and learn how to interact with our python applications using command line switches, console input and files.
At the end of this course, you’ll have a great working knowledge of Python, fully capable of creating your own Python projects from scratch or jumping into an existing application with the capability to read, understand, and contribute to the application.

Learner Reviews
- How will you use what you learned from this collection?
I am a complete beginner. These lessons move really fast. The explanations encourage further research but everything is easy to follow along with and figure out. I have tried multiple sites to try learning and this has been by far the most different from things like codecademy et.. I still feel confused but I know that with repeat I will eventually get there.
Learner4 years ago - What did you like about this course?
Short and sweet. It is exactly what I needed to revise Python.
Maxime Hardy5 years ago - What did you like about this course?
Excellent examples, good explanations.
Ronny Freites5 years ago - How can this course be improved?
The goal is not very clear. Who is this course for ? Experienced developers , beginners ? Also the content seems to be awfully small. Of course this is an introduction, but it seems weird because in the end:
- I don't know what are the types I can use in Python
- I don't really know how to use classes. Are all the fields always public ? Can we use something like module visibility ? etc...
It seems to me too much time is spent with file I/O and consuming command line arguments (which is interesting but not fundamental), and this time could be used in more important areas.
Jocelyn Lecomte5 years ago - What did you like about this course?
If you want to learn the syntax and basics of the language, and you have prior development skills, this course is perfect.
Cesar5 years ago - What would make this course a 7 for you?
To add a little bit more advanced topics and to make it more interactive (have practical exercises)
