WEEK 1
Introducción a la programación en Python
¡Bienvenidos! En este módulo abordaremos los siguientes contenidos: Primero, trabajaremos sobre la Instalación de Python y de un entorno de desarrollo integrado en tu computadora. Luego, aprenderemos a utilizar la Consola interactiva de Python. Después, trabajaremos sobre la estructura de la documentación online de Python y haremos el primer script en Python. Finalmente, nos dedicaremos a aquello relacionado con pedir valores al usuario del programa y a la Instalación de paquetes de Python.

WEEK 2
Variables y expresiones
Avanzamos al módulo 2 de contenido. En esta semana nos abocaremos a comprender y utilizar los tipos de datos básicos que incorpora Python: booleanos, números enteros, números flotantes, strings. Escribir expresiones en Python que utilicen variables, operadores aritméticos, operadores lógicos (and, or, not) y operadores de comparación será otro de los propósitos para esta semana. Además de esto, utilizarás las librerías math y random que provee Python.

WEEK 3
Condicionales y funciones
Llegamos al módulo 3 del curso. En esta semana identificarás y trabajarás sobre los distintas formas de utilizar los condicionales. También definirás tus propias funciones para poder re-utilizarlas en los distintos programas que hagas y aprenderás cómo se lee un programa de Python. Además de eso, utilizarás distintas funciones provistas por Python. Por último, comprenderás y utilizarás el Debugger de Python para encontrar los posibles errores que detectes en tus programas.

WEEK 4
Ciclos e iteración
Llegamos al último Módulo del curso. Felicitaciones por haber llegado hasta aquí. En esta semana podrás trabajar con los ciclos for y while para crear programas que realicen acciones repetidas veces. Además de esto, podrás conocer cómo se utilizan las sentencias para cambiar el flujo de un ciclo. Abordar la definición de los iteradores y algunas herramientas para crear tus propios iteradores será otro de los temas a tratar. Por último, podrás tener una aproximación a los módulos y paquetes de Python.
