We love Programming. Our aim with this course is to create a love for Programming.

Python is one of the most popular programming languages. Python offers both object oriented and structural programming features.

We take an hands-on approach using a combination of Python Shell and PyCharm as an IDE to illustrate more than 150 Python Coding Exercises, Puzzles and Code Examples.

In more than 150 Steps, we explore the most important Python Programming Language Features
