Basic Python

Welcome to the Basic section of the Progressive Python Course, the first part of the tutorials on the site.

In this initial part, we will learn the simplest and most introductory Python programming language.

Let's assume you have absolutely no study or knowledge in Python or any other language. Even if you only know how to turn on your computer, this is enough to start studying this section of the site and begin to understand Python.

You will learn what Python is, what it does, how it works, what you need to install and type to start scripting in Python.

We'll also show you how to display messages on the screen, pick up user data, do math and other simple but interesting things!

Good lessons!
