Python
In this complete python tutorial series we are gonna learn all about python. We're gonna start really from the beginning. If you don’t have any coding experience and want to learn python then this is the right course for you.
We are gonna learn python as our first language.
So before we getting let, let’s get started…!
What is python?
Python is an object-oriented, high-level programming language primarily for web and app development.
Python is relatively simple, so it's easy to learn since it requires a unique syntax that focuses on readability. Developers can read and translate Python code much easier than other languages.
Python can be used in
Automation, Application, Websites, A.I and more.
Python can be used to connect database servers, modify and read files, Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.
Python was designed for readability, and has some similarities to the English language so learning python is super easy.

Code editor
There are many free code editors available to write python code. For example, visual studio code, sublime text and so on. The one i am gonna show you in this tutorial is pycharm.
This is one of the most popular code editors to write python code.
You can get this from
www.jetbrains.com/pycharm
Pycharm is considered as IDE which is short for integrated development environment. This allows you to write, test and debug your code more easily.
Here on the download page you can see two versions of pycharm. One is the professional edition which has additional features. You have to pay for that. The other is the community edition that is absolutely free.
And that is what we're gonna use in this tutorial.
Once you download pycharm open it.
This is how it looks.
In the next lecture, we're gonna write our first python code.
