Bring your laptops!!! We will be coding together!

Python is both easy to learn and powerful! Python can be used to build websites, analyze complex data, create world-class machine learning algorithms, and even develop games. Python skills are in high demand across a wide variety of industries.

This meetup targets those with little to no programming experience.

Everyone attending will receive a free digital copy of my book, Master the Fundamentals of Python. This is a comprehensive text with 300+ pages, 25+ hours of video lessons, exercises, projects, and a certification exam.

We will cover the following topics:
• Getting Started with Jupyter Notebooks
• Using Python as a calculator
• Objects and their types
• Strings

• Control Flow
• Functions
• Data structures (tuples, sets, and dictionaries)
