Intro to Programming in PYTHON

Welcome to the first class of Silicon Dojo 2.0. The goal is to create interactive online education that allows students to get hands on experience and support from an instructor regardless of where they are.

This class is an Introduction to Python session. There will be a seminar, and then 5 hands on labs for you to practice with.

You'll need a computer you can install:
- Latest Python version
- VSCode

The labs will be provided as files. It would be best for you to print them out, or if you have a second computer/ tablet to view them on.

I'll try to provide support through Screen Sharing to help you if you into problems.

Please note that you can simply attend the class and not do the labs, but... ... that seems a bit sad...

This class will go over;
- What is Python
- Why Python Matters
- Versions of Python
- Importance of Modules in Python
- Importance of Frameworks in Python
- Installing Python
- Using VSCode to program in Python
- Python Syntax and Styling
- 5 simple labs to become comfortable with writing Python

We use Google Meet for the Meeting because the video resolution is better.

Warning... This is the first class I've done like this... It might/ probably will be a bit of a disaster...
