Python Programming Basics: How to go from Beginner to Pro (Skillshare)

Welcome to my course. I am Connor, and in the next 34 minutes I will take you from a beginner at Python Programming and teach you all the skills required to begin coding your own programs. This course includes the knowledge of a 2 year GCSE Computer Science course in a fraction of the time. By combining everything I teach you in this course, you'll be able to code an endless array of fun and useful programs.

You will learn:

  • Installing Python (python.org)
  • Printing text
  • Creating variables
  • Printing variables
  • Implementing variables into your strings
  • Assigning the user's input to a variable
  • Using If and Else statements
  • Using While loops
  • Converting texts
  • Annotating your code
  • Creating lists
  • Using the Random module
  • Using the Time module
  • Using the len function
  • Taking an int/float input (Including handling Type errors)
  • Performing mathematical operations

It is important to complete the project so that you consolidate your understanding of what you've learnt. It will also allow you to apply the skills that you've learnt to a practical example.
Using everything I have taught you in this course, I want you to create a quiz game program in which:

  • two random numbers (between 1, 20) are generated
  • the user is asked what the sum of those numbers is (added together)
  • If they get it correct, they get a score
  • If they get it incorrect, they lose one of their 3 lives
  • Once they have lost all of their lives, then the game is over
  • At the end of the game it tells them their score
