Overview

This 58-part tutorial will teach you Python through a mix between tutorials and interactive coding challenges. The course consists of 4-8 minute tutorials covering a topic, and separate exercises where the topic is covered as a hands-on coding challenge. It aims to give you a solid understanding of the basic concepts in Python programming. As with all Scrimba courses, you can stop, test, modify or spin-off the code at any time. This makes for a more immersive experience and is one of the greatest benefits with the Scrimba platform. But it only works if you do, so use the opportunity. Don't just watch the talk-throughs, work through them, play, experiment, fail and learn! That is how you become great. You got this! To discuss learning Python in this course, share and meet others in a similar situation to yourself you are invited to join the Facebook group: Python 101 started for this purpose. The instructor Olof Paulson will be active and answer your questions.
