Online Coding Workshop on Python
Struggling to get started with Python? Join us on our Discord server for a free beginner-friendly online workshop, tailored to those with no or basic programming experience.
In this live interactive session, you’ll see Python in action. We’ll cover essential concepts from our most popular course, Introduction to Python, and provide hands-on experience using integrated development environments (IDEs). Get a real feel for coding in Python through practical, real-world scenarios.
In particular, you’ll learn and practice:
- Arithmetic operators
- String length
- List items
- Else with loops (2)
- Executing modules and scripts
When: Thursday, July 11, 2024, at 2:00 PM UTC (check other timezones).
No registration is needed. Just join our Discord server and be ready to learn.
