This is an optional set of videos to help you get started with Python. However, all of this information can be found elsewhere on this website.

In this series of videos, we introduce the concept of a variable, and with it, the assignment statement. This is what many consider the start of real programming.
Watch ›
In this series of videos, we introduce the concept of a function call. Function calls provide us with even more expressions to enter in Python. In a few cases they will even give us additional commands.
Watch ›
In this series of videos, we show how to save our work into .py files called modules. This will require that we install a second program: a code editor.
Watch ›
Do we really need a series of videos about comments? Yes we do! As we see in this video series, proper documentation is even more important than code.
Watch ›
In this video series, we demonstrate the difference between program structure and program flow. We also introduce our first control structure: the conditional.
Watch ›
Your first assignment is very much do-this/do-that. In this video series we step back and see how we would design a complex program from the beginning.
Watch ›
Now that we have objects, we have all of the tools to properly visualize what is going on when we execute Python. In this lesson we see how everything fits together.
Watch ›
In this lesson we show how to use our understanding of Python memory to read error messages. We also show how to create our own error messages and why
Watch ›
In this lesson we introduce two more sliceable data types: tuples and lists. They are similar to strings, except that they can contain data other than text.
Watch ›
Lists (and sequences) come with their own special control structure: the for-loop. This is the last traditional control structure we will see for a while.
Watch ›
Lists can contain anything – even other lists. In this lesson we show why this is so important and what we have to look out for when using nested lists.
Watch ›
In this lesson we introduce recursion, a powerful programming tool and one of the fundamental principles of computer science. It is used in many advanced algorithms.
