Mini projects and labs after key concepts for hands-on practice
-
Clear progression from basic syntax to functions and data structures
This hands-on course guides complete beginners through the core concepts of Python, from setup and syntax to loops, functions, and data structures. You'll start by learning how to install Python, write your first scripts, and understand key programming terms. Early modules cover data types, variables, operators, and expressions—helping you build a strong foundation.
Next, you'll dive into control flow with conditionals and loops, practicing with labs and challenges like a movie ticket calculator and a number guessing game. As you progress, you'll explore how to write reusable functions, use recursion, and apply scope effectively. You'll also build mini apps using lists, dictionaries, tuples, and sets, gaining real experience through guided projects like a to-do list manager and a contact book.
Finally, you’ll learn how to handle input/output, basic errors, and common exceptions, before moving into exam prep. The course ends with tips on studying for the PCEP certification, avoiding common pitfalls, and planning your next steps in programming. By the end, you'll not only be confident in Python basics but also ready to earn your first certification and build your coding future.
This course is ideal for absolute beginners, career switchers, and aspiring developers aiming to earn the PCEP certification. No prior programming experience is required. A basic comfort with using a computer and navigating files is helpful.
