Python is a dynamic modern object -oriented programming language.

It is easy to learn and can be used to do a lot of things both big and small.
Python is what is referred to as a high level language.
That means it is a language that is closer to humans than computer.
It is also known as a general purpose programming language due to it's flexibility.

Python did not get it's name from the snake but rather from the British comedy
group known as Monty Python.

Python is object -oriented means it regards everything as an object.
An object in the real world could be a person or a car.

This course is a practical and hand on course where you will create 7 projects from scratch
The projects we will create together are:

A Digital Clock

A countdown timer

A Calculator

A weight conversion tool

A times tables generator

A Random number generator

A Number Guessing Game

A Vowel removal program

The best way to learn a new programming language is by building something with it. By the end of this course you would have acquired some useful skills to get creative building more apps on your own.

I look forward to welcoming you to the course.
