15. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course

16. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language…

17. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language… …and Python has proven to be easier to pick up than alternatives which are also:

18. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language… …and Python has proven to be easier to pick up than alternatives which are also: –free

19. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language… …and Python has proven to be easier to pick up than alternatives which are also: –free –cross-platform

20. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language… …and Python has proven to be easier to pick up than alternatives which are also: –free –cross-platform –widely used

21. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language… …and Python has proven to be easier to pick up than alternatives which are also: –free –cross-platform –widely used –well documented

22. PythonIntroduction Teaching you Python is not the point of this course But we have to write examples in some language… …and Python has proven to be easier to pick up than alternatives which are also: –free –cross-platform –widely used –well documented –well supported

23. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming

24. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know:

25. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables

26. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables –loops

27. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables –loops –conditionals (if / else)

28. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables –loops –conditionals (if / else) –lists / arrays

29. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables –loops –conditionals (if / else) –lists / arrays –how to read data from a file

30. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables –loops –conditionals (if / else) –lists / arrays –how to read data from a file This lecture will show you how to do these in Python

31. PythonIntroduction This course will not teach you basic programming Assume you already know: –variables –loops –conditionals (if / else) –lists / arrays –how to read data from a file This lecture will show you how to do these in Python well
