Python junior developers or whoever wants to automatize processes with coding and take the first steps into programming with the most popular programming language!

No previous experience in coding is required! You will learn everything you need to start coding from scratch and write excellent code!

Are you looking for a simple and effective Python course, created by someone who has been mastering Python for years? You've found it.

I designed this course after teaching programming to hundreds of people, leveraging the experience from my teaching and consulting work to develop a learning path that is simple, clear, and covers all the essential concepts for beginners in programming. For those who want to learn programming in the quickest and most focused way, a clear approach and practical, targeted content are crucial—and that's exactly what I've included in this course.

Don't worry, this isn't just another course filled with hours of theory packaged and sold as "indispensable." The theory in this course is minimal, just enough to introduce the most important aspect of programming: practice.

To become an excellent programmer, the formula is straightforward: practice, practice, and more practice!

That's why I've enriched this course with numerous exercises to test what you've learned after each section. And don't worry—you'll also get my proposed solutions for each exercise, presented clearly and in detail in dedicated videos.

Programming in Python can be simple for you, and it will be with this course! We'll start by exploring one of the most effective and widely used tools for Python programming: Google Colab. You won’t need to install anything, and all your projects will be accessible from any device—you could even code from your smartphone!

Next, we'll dive into the main data types used in Python. We’ll create numerical variables with int and float, define textual variables with strings, use heterogeneous containers with lists and discover the incredible simplicity and clarity of dictionaries.

I’ll show you the most important concepts for data structures, such as indexing to access specific elements, slicing to select multiple elements, and even concatenation to create new variables by combining two or more others.

Then, we’ll move on to execution control, covering operators and expressions. You'll learn how to build arithmetic expressions and, most importantly, essential logical expressions using comparison operators. We’ll create complex conditions with the and, or, and not operators and see how all of this is used to create any type of logic, bringing intelligence to our code with the if statement by building our own thermostat!

Next, we'll explore how to repeat instructions using the indispensable for and while loops, and even how to create complex loops and modify their behavior with control statements like break and continue.

We’ll conclude this valuable journey by diving into functions—a concept every programmer must know and use in every program they create. You’ll write your first function to execute, like uttering a magic word, any instructions you want. I’ll also show you how to use functions effectively.

Everything you need to start programming in Python is here. Start now and become a programmer!
