IPP-DOC-P01-SUMMARY: Foundations #5
Description
Part 01: Foundations
About Part 01
Part 01 is all about setting up your development environment and learning the basics of the Python programming language. We'll cover setup and installation of the Python interpreter, configuring a simple development environment using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), Python syntax, Python functions, and general program flow.
Part 01 is comprised of three lab modules:
- Lab Module 01: Setup and Dev Environment Configuration
- Lab Module 02: Python syntax and simple scripting
- Lab Module 03: Python functions and program flow
By the end of Part 01, you should have a fully functioning Python development environment up and running and your first Python application!
Part 01 Summary
Key Learning Activities
-
Overall: Learn about the Python programming language for basic scripting tasks and larger application development. Learn how to install Python, configure an IDE, and run a simple Python script and application.
-
Syntax: Learn about basic Python syntax and program call sequences.
-
Functions and Program Flow: Learn how functions work in Python, how they're invoked, what they do, and how to organize them to make sequential calls within a Python application.
