Introduction to Programming & Python | Python Tutorial - Day #1
Welcome to 100 Days of Code
In this course, we will be learning Python programming from scratch to job-ready level in 100
days. By dedicating 100 days to this program and following the byte-sized lessons, you will
master Python programming.
Python is a dynamically-typed, object-oriented programming language created by Guido van
Russom in 1991. Its name was inspired by a TV show named Monty Python's Circus, which
Guido was watching at the time.
What to Expect
As we progress through the videos, we will start with the basics and move on to advanced
topics. At first, you may find Python to be quite easy, but as we move forward, we will be raising
the bar and working on complex projects that are used in industry.
Excitement and fun are guaranteed as we take you from zero to job-ready in just 100 days!
Get ready for lots of practice and challenges as we learn unique Python concepts together.
Along with theory, we'll be doing exercises and quizzes to reinforce our understanding. Don't
miss a day by subscribing and turning on notifications. Don't get lost in the sea of YouTube -

How to Download and Install Python
If you want to download Python, go to python.org and choose the latest version available for
your platform. For example, if you have a Mac, you can download version 3.11. While you wait
for the download to complete, you can also download your favorite IDE or VS code to use
Python on your computer.
One option for using Python is Replit, which is a collaborative, browser-based IDE. This can be
a good choice if you find it easy to use.
Online Code Writing with Replit
Replit is an online platform that provides an easy way to write code. It is especially helpful for
those who have slow computers or experience computer lag. To access Replit, simply sign in
with your Google account and you will be redirected to your dashboard where you can access
all your repls.
To follow along with me, all you need is a browser tab. I will be using replit for easy accessibility.
First, go to myrepls and scroll down to the Python zero to job ready folder. Click on the day 1
repl to begin.
