Description

It's time to stop putting it off. You know that Python is a powerful language with a huge ecosystem and friendly community. Maybe you've dabbled with some tutorials before, but it never quite stuck. It's time to join some fellow beginners and learn to program in the Python programming language. This tutorial for absolute beginners go through basic programming concepts, Python syntax, and a few fun programs along the way. It's not a math-heavy hacker challenge; just the sensible foundation concepts heavy with examples. If you've started and stopped learning to code before, or never got around to starting at all, sign up for this tutorial and start PyCon on a strong step. You'll end with a set of tools, the knowledge of where to go next, and the confidence to continue your programming journey.
