Description



No experience in programming required. Learn practical Python skills and get up and running in Python today.



*Course updated November 2018 with new resources.*



Begin your Python journey here. Over the years I have tried to learn many programming languages. Most of the time I never got past the basics. But Python is different. Python is beautifully simple and yet incredibly powerful. It's also easy to read which I love.



If you have just decided to learn programming then you have made the right choice, so take a breath. Python is very easy to learn which means that you will be through the basics and on to writing programs in a very short time.



Python is a one-stop shop.There's a Python framework for pretty much anything, from web apps to data analysis. Python is often heralded as the easiest programming language to learn, with its simple and straightforward syntax. Python has risen in popularity due to Google's investment in it over the past decade (in fact, one recent study has shown Python to be the most commonly taught programming language in U.S. schools). Other applications built with Python include Pinterest and Instagram.



This course is a step by step guide through the Python 3 programming language. You will go from a complete Python beginner, installing Python to creating your own programs.



There are over 130 lectures in this course and over 7 hours of video each one detailing a specific aspect of the Python programming language.



This course will walk you through:



• Variables

• Strings

• Numbers

• Comments

• Lists

• User input

• Conditional tests

• Dictionaries

• While loops

• Functions

• Classes

• Files

• Error handling

• and Tests...Phew!



Get programming with Python today and enroll now.

January Student Challenge



Hi All,



Welcome to this months student challenge and the first of 2019. Last month was our first challenge and as promised I will be running student challenges every month in 2019.



For new students these challenges are designed to help reinforce what you learn in my Python classes. There will be two winners of this months challenge, each receiving a $50 Amazon Gift Card. The challenge will close on January 30th and two winners will be chosen at random on January 31st.



So, what is this months challenge?



By now you know that I am a massive book worm, so your challenge is to create a book storage application. The application should allow users to manage their book collection.



To complete the challenge your application will need to have three main features:



1. It must allow users to add new books to the collection



2. The application must allow users to view all the books in their collection



3. The application must allow users to find a book within their collection by any of its attributes



Here are some pointers to get you started



Books should be dictionaries, and you can define the structure of the dictionary to be anything you like. For example you could choose to have books as dictionaries with the following keys:



{



   'name': 'Elon Musk',



   'author': 'Ashlee vance',



   'genre': 'biography'



}



Or you may choose to have more keys, such as:



{



   'name': 'Elon Musk',



   'author': 'Ashlee vance',



   'genre': 'biography',



   'publisher': 'virgin',



   'published date': '2015'



}



How should books be stored?



This is up to you, to complete the challenge a user should be able to print them to the screen, find and retrieve them. I would suggest that you use a list. If you are comfortable using files then you could go with that option.



How to find moves.



With your structure defined, users should be able to "find all books published in 2015" or "find all movies that are biographies". To do this users should be able to tell your application what property they are looking for, is it name, genre, published date or something else. A user should also be able to tell your application Elon Musk, or biography for the examples above.



With both property and the value, a user should be able to find all books that match both. The challenge does not close until January 30th so you have plenty of time to think about your solution.



If you need any help, just ask in the community section of the class and I'll be happy to help.



Best of luck,



Tony.
