<p>In this section you will learn:</p> <p>How to take the course with maximum efficiency?<br /> How does the Python language work? This is very important basic information to know.<br /> What software will you need to write Python programs, where to download it, and how to install it?<br /> After watching this section, you will already know how Python works, as well as have all the necessary software to write your own programs in this language.</p> <p>Now that we have everything ready to start, we can start writing our first programs in Python. And in this section you will learn:</p> <p>How are programs written in Python?<br /> What are variables, what are the types of variables, how are they used?<br /> What are arithmetic, logical, and string operations? All of this is provided with lots of examples.<br /> What is a conditional operator for and what does it look like?<br /> How do the for and while loop operators work and what are they for?<br /> What are lists, sets, tuples, dictionaries and how are they used in practice?<br /> What are functions and how to use them correctly in Python?<br /> What are global variables?<br /> What are modules, how to plug in other people's modules and how to create your own?<br /> What are exceptions and how to handle them properly in Python?<br /> How to execute commands from the operating system?<br /> How to debug programs and find bugs in them?<br /> This is a rather lengthy section that will give you all the foundation you need to create your first useful programs in Python.</p> <p>The Python language wouldn't be such a great language if it didn't contain a lot of out-of-the-box features. And by watching this section, you will learn:</p> <p>What are the math functions?<br /> What are the string functions?<br /> What are the functions for working with lists, tuples, sets and dictionaries?<br /> What are some functions for working with files?<br /> What are some functions for working with date and time?<br /> After watching this section, you will not only master all the functions we will discuss, but also see certain regularities in their use. As a result, you will be able to search for the functions you need in the reference book and use them easily. For example, to work with FTP. And from now on there will be no more impossible tasks for you.</p>
