Now playing: Python Tutorial for Beginners with VS Code šŸ

About this path

This learning path is built from Dave Gray's Python Tutorials for Beginners playlist. It is designed for people with no prior programming experience. You will start by installing Python and setting up VS Code, then move through core concepts like variables, operators, data types, loops, functions, and modules. Later, you'll dive into more advanced topics such as recursion, closures, lambda functions, and object-oriented programming. The path ends with practical projects: a weather app, a Flask web application, and a REST API. Each video builds on the previous one, so follow them in order. The final video is a 9-hour full course that consolidates everything you've learned.

What you will learn

  • Set up a Python development environment with VS Code
  • Write Python programs using variables, operators, and data types
  • Control program flow with conditionals and loops
  • Create reusable code with functions and modules
  • Understand and apply object-oriented programming concepts
  • Handle errors and exceptions gracefully
  • Work with files and virtual environments
  • Build simple web applications and REST APIs with Flask

Who this is for
