Python has been steadily growing in popularity over the past decade as the programming language of choice for both beginning programmers and experienced software developers. This is due to its clear syntax and ease in code development and maintenance.
This module teaches the fundamentals of programming in Python and is suited to those with no prior experience in programming. Learners will develop skills for writing and debugging simple programs using basic programming concepts (assignments, if statements, loops, functions) and data types (integers, floating-point numbers, strings, lists). They will also gain an understanding of algorithms and algorithm development.
