Welcome to an Introduction to Python!
I am very excited to share my love of python with you. While this course will not give you any school credit, I believe that you will enjoy yourselves as well as gain valuable skills. We will start with the basics and then move toward more complicated topics, and at the end of the class, you will complete a project that demonstrates all that you have learned!
Learning a programming language is very rewarding: it will open your mind to an entirely new set of problems and tasks that you are able to solve and complete. That being said, you will get out of this course exactly what you put into it. We will have no quizzes or exams, so the pressure to move forward and learn must come from you!
