Overview of this book

<p>We get you started setting up your environment and the tools you need to start programming in Python. You will be learning about variables and operators and how to make use of them in Python programs. You will learn all about control flow statements and loops in Python and you will be using them in your programs to solve your coding problems.</p> <p>Then you will learn to use Python's advanced data structures such as lists and dictionaries. You will be able to organize in functions and save time coding by writing code that can be reused. Then, you will learn about Python modules and how to make use of them. On the last day, you will start interacting with files using Python code.<br />The course will give you a strong entry point into programming in general and programming in Python in particular.</p> <p>All the code files of this course are available on Github at&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Begin-Python-Programming-in-7-Days-Video-" target="_blank">https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Begin-Python-Programming-in-7-Days-Video-</a></p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>In this course, we have taken a unique approach by making it super-friendly and accessible for a complete beginner by defining a daily curriculum with hands-on practice each day. Each day covers specific aspects of programming in Python for 30 minutes, followed by a practical exercise that you can perform as homework by implementing what you learned for approx. an hour. The next day begins with a brief recap of the exercise and then we move on to the next aspect of the course.</p>
