About this course
A single, well-paced Python course from freeCodeCamp, split here at the uploader's own chapters into 35 short lessons. It starts with installing Python and PyCharm, then covers variables, strings, numbers, input, lists, tuples, functions, if statements, dictionaries, loops, files, modules and pip, and classes with inheritance. Small projects run through it: a calculator, a Mad Libs game, a guessing game, a translator and a multiple-choice quiz. A good first course for students and job seekers who have never programmed.
