Python: The Beginner-Friendly Language
If you're new to programming, you may find that many
programming languages are not very beginner-friendly. They
have complex syntax and small mistakes can cause errors.
However, Python is different. It's easy to learn and use. You
simply type out what you want to do, and Python does it.
There's not much syntax to learn, so the learning curve is
nearly zero. You can start writing your first program within
seconds of starting to learn Python.

In this course, you'll learn everything you need to know to get
started in Python. The lessons are specifically designed with
examples to help you along the way. Whether you're a
complete beginner or have some programming experience, this
course is perfect for you.
Why Learn Python?
There's no reason not to learn Python! Many people might feel
intimidated or think it's too difficult, but don't worry, this
course will guide you through all the core concepts in Python
so you can start programming confidently and writing awesome
scripts and programs.
I'm excited to be teaching you Python and can't wait for you to

How to Install Python
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Python onto your
computer and a text editor to write your programs in.
, First, head over to your web browser and go
to www.python.org/downloads . On this page, you'll see two
buttons:
Download Python 3.6.3 (the latest version of Python 3)
Download Python 2.7.14 (the latest version of Python 2)
There are two major versions of Python currently in use: Python
2 and Python 3. Python 2 is a legacy version that's no longer
officially maintained or supported, while Python 3 is the newest
version that's getting actively maintained and supported.
While Python 2 has been around longer and has more libraries
and code written for it, Python 3 is the future of Python and has
many advantages. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which
version to download.
Python 3: The Future of Python
In the next five or ten years, it is highly likely that Python 2 will
no longer be in use. The newest version, Python 3, is the future
of Python and is being maintained going forward. Therefore,
this tutorial will focus on teaching Python 3.
Download Python 3
To get started, download Python 3. Although there are some
differences between Python 3 and Python 2 in terms of syntax
and minor details, if you learn Python 3, you will be able to
code in Python 2 as well. Python 3 is the best version for
beginners to learn.
Click on the "Download Python 3" button and wait for the
download to finish. Once it's done, head over to your
downloads folder and double-click on the downloaded file. You
will be prompted with a Python installer. Click through the
installer to complete the installation.
Setting Up Python and a Text Editor
In order to start writing Python code, we need to first install
Python 3 on our computer. Once installed, we can choose any
text editor to write our code, but it is recommended to use a
special text editor designed for Python code called an
Integrated Development Environment (IDE). One popular IDE
for Python is PyCharm.
