To write Python, we need to have Python installed on our computer. We also need a program called an IDE that allows us to write Python scripts. So, here's what we're going to do.
Download Python
Download IDE (software to write code in)
Create our first project
And talk about the course
We start off with the very basics of Python. We learn to understand the print function, create variables and use them, and do a bit of math.
Calculating Numbers in Python
Using the print() Function
Arithmetic Operations in Python
Creating Variables in Python
In this section, we're delving deeper into Python and starting to understand how we can manipulate data. We'll learn about different tools like lists, tuples, and dictionaries.
Understanding Strings
Working with Strings
Lists in Python
Manipulating Data
Tuples in Python (Similar to Lists)
Advanced Data Tools: Dictionaries
Now, it's time for a bit of fun. Instead of typing code the whole time that just prints text, we're going to use code to draw fun shapes on our screen using a turtle. Yes, a Turtle.
Importing Turtle Modules
Creating Objects
Drawing Cool Shapes with Code
In this section, we focus on asking questions and having code execute only if certain conditions are met. There are substantial complexities to these conditions.
If Statements in Python
Using Operators for Comparison
Diving Deeper into If Statements
Working with Complex Conditions
Getting User Input
Converting Strings to Integers
Level 2: Achieving a Solid Understanding
When it comes to programming, one of the most important tools is loops. We've already explored loops in Scratch, but now we're going to delve deeper and see how they make our life as programmers much easier and allow us to write more complex code.
For Loops in Python
Understanding the range() Function
Converting Objects to Lists
Ranges with a Step
For Loops Over Lists
Nested Loops
While Loops
At this point, our code is becoming a bit too complicated and lengthy. To manage this complexity, we need to start separating it into different layers, rather than having one large piece of code. We achieve this by using functions.
Defining Functions in Python
Using Parameters and Arguments in Functions
Calling Functions
Returning Values from Functions
Understanding Variable Scope
At this stage, our programs are growing more complex, and it's time to organize our code more effectively. Instead of handling everything with basic functions and variables, we can start grouping related data and behaviors into classes and objects. This approach allows us to create more structured and manageable code, making it easier to build and maintain larger programs.
Defining Classes
Inheritance in Python
Adding Methods to Classes
Understanding the self Parameter
Working with the __init__() Constructor
Level 3: Advanced Coding Understanding
Now it's time to use the tools we've learned, like if statements and for loops, to draw more complex shapes with Turtle. This section will be more challenging than the first Turtle section, but it's also more fun because we have a lot more tools at our disposal.
A Refresher on Using Different Functions in Turtle
Using Loops to Draw with Turtle
Applying If Statements for Fun Images
Drawing a Car
Coloring Objects
Filling Our Drawings
We've been drawing graphics using Turtle, and while it's fun, in the real world, graphics need to be drawn much more quickly. This is where Tkinter comes into play. We'll learn how to draw shapes on our screen instantaneously, and this is where we begin creating applications in Python.
Importing the Tkinter Module
Creating Buttons
Drawing on Canvas
Adding Colors
Drawing Arcs and Polygons
Displaying Text and Images
Basic Animations
Making Objects React to Events
Level 4: Exercises and Projects
It's time to apply the knowledge we've gained so far and create a project using Python code. While this project might not be as visually impressive as the ones we made in Scratch, it introduces more complexities and will open the door to even more exciting projects in the future.
Setting Up the Canvas for Drawing
Adding Ball Movements
Creating the Paddle
Bouncing the Ball Off the Paddle
Adding a Score to Win or Lose the Game
Phase 3: Advanced Professional Python Coding
Level 1: Revisiting the Basics in More Depth
