This course will introduce you to programming. You will learn the features of Python. Even if you use other programming languages the things you will learn in this course will definitely come in handy. Most of the things presented in this course are found in many other programming languages.

PREREQUISITES

Before starting the course it is good to know the basics of computer use and operation. It is good to have also mastered mathematical apparatus at an intermediate level. Knowledge of the English language is highly desirable. All instructions used in programming are English words.
