One of the most useful things to know how to do when just learning how to program is knowing how to read and write text files. In this video, I show you how to do just that.

Example code from the video:

Below is lesson number 3 in the series: Learn how to code with Python. In this lesson I explain the basic things you need to know to start working productively with numbers in Python.

In the video I talk about the different types of numbers:

• Integers, or int in Python
• Floating point number, or float in Python

Learn How to Code With Python – Lesson 01

In this first lesson of my free video course: Learn how to code with Python, you will write your first python program. You may think that the program isn’t much, but actually, it is a big step to get code to run for the first time in a new programming language. It is also kind of a tradition that whenever you are introduced to a new language you start with printing a message to the screen, that says: “Hello World!”.

Learn How to Code With Python – Intro

Below is an intro to my free mini video course:

In this course, I will teach you fundamental coding skills using the Python programming language.

Why?

I believe that anyone should learn how to code.

Coding / Computation is all around us and you will understand more of the world around you if you know how to code. It is not my intention to make everyone a software developer,  but coding is a skill like reading and writing. And it can be a lot of fun as well.
