Overview

Python is one of the most widely used programming languages, and it is an excellent first language for new programmers. It can be used for everything from video games to data visualization to machine learning.

Right from the start, this course will show you how to use Python to create intricate drawings, coded messages and beautiful data plots. And along the way, you'll learn core programming concepts such as variables, control flow, and simulation.
This course is ideal for anyone looking to start their programming journey - no experience required!
