00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,210
Welcome to this practical and hands on Python

2
00:00:03,210 --> 00:00:07,200
course. First, why should you learn Python? Well,

3
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:10,470
Python is one of the easiest languages to start

4
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:13,320
with, and yet, you can create impressive

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,280
applications quite fast. Also, Python is used in

6
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:20,880
almost all tech companies, and will open the door

7
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:25,110
to many different fields, web development, video

8
00:00:25,110 --> 00:00:28,620
games, robotics, artificial intelligence, data,

9
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:31,890
science, and many more. All those fields have a

10
00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:35,490
huge demand for Python developers. So if you want

11
00:00:35,490 --> 00:00:38,550
to get a job in one of these, Python is definitely

12
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:41,190
for you. And now whether you have never used

13
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:44,100
Python before and want to learn the basics fast,

14
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:47,400
or if you're a Python developer, and want a quick

15
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:51,360
refresher, well, this course is what you need. My

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,840
teaching method focuses on learning by doing and

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,320
going to the point. I will show you exactly what

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,100
you need to learn in a practical way, step by

19
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,340
step. You will start by installing Python on your

20
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:08,880
computer, whether you have Windows, Linux, or MAC

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,810
OS, then you will learn Python basics through four

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,780
different levels that are built on top of each

23
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:19,410
other, so you can easily make progress, everything

24
00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:22,560
is covered. For each level, you will learn with me

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,710
through hands on lessons only, and practice on the

26
00:01:25,710 --> 00:01:29,550
key concepts with additional exercises. I have

27
00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:33,060
also included an extra bonus section on object

28
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:36,240
oriented programming with Python. Of course, I

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,580
don't claim to teach you everything there is to

30
00:01:38,580 --> 00:01:42,000
know about Python. Instead, I have chosen to make

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,810
the course as short as possible, and focus on the

32
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:49,320
main concepts you're really going to need first.

33
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:52,530
So at the end of the course, you will master the

34
00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:55,680
Python basics, and you will be able to use the

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,400
strong foundation to start learning and working on

36
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:02,730
any kind of project. And now just a few words

37
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:05,910
about me. My name is Edouard. I'm a software

38
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:09,210
engineer and entrepreneur, I have used Python to

39
00:02:09,210 --> 00:02:12,210
build many different things. For example, a few

40
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:15,240
years ago, I co-founded a robotics startup, and

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,330
thanks to Python, I managed to write the complete

42
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:22,050
code for a prototype in almost no time, which

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,530
allowed us to show a working product very quickly.

44
00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:28,650
I am now focusing on sharing my knowledge in the

45
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:32,760
easiest possible way for anyone to understand.

46
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:35,940
Alright, so if you want to learn Python fast by

47
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:39,120
directly going to the point, don't wait any more,

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,088
and let's get started.
