All of this is presented by a young man who shares his knowledge, so the language used can be easily understood by everyone.

The course is designed for those who don't have any prior knowledge about programming. It doesn't matter if you have never written any programs or you have no idea about programming... After my course all of this will change. You will bust the myth that programming is a difficult thing only for the few!

Python is:

easy to learn and read,
fast
universal (tons of useful libraries available)

Python is used by:

Google (Youtube)
Facebook
Dropbox
Yahoo
NASA
IBM
Mozilla
Reddit

After this Python course you will know:

how to import and use basic Python libraries
what are the functions and how to use them
how arithmetic, logical and relational operators work
how to operate on Strings :-)
how to create conditions with the help of conditional statements
what they are and when to use lists, collections, tuples, dictionaries
how to create advanced expressions for generating, lists, dictionaries and sets.
how loops work
how to handle files
how to create random events on a mini game.
how to support JSON format on a practical example - requesting content from API servers
how to install external PyPi packages
how to handle Visual Studio Code in Python

That's not all!

The Python course has a lot of practical exercises.

Python is often used by professional programmers. Even tho they uses daily other languages, they still use Python to solve complex problems.
