00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,430
In the following lessons, you are going to write

2
00:00:02,430 --> 00:00:05,550
your first Python code and get to know some of the

3
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:08,610
most fundamental concepts. First, you will

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,060
discover the syntax and how to work with numbers

5
00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:14,910
in Python. I will introduce the concept of

6
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:17,040
variables and you will understand why you need

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,490
them and what to do with them. You will also get

8
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:23,220
to know the different types of variables you can

9
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:26,370
use to represent different kinds of numbers and

10
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:30,510
data. Also, we'll have a look at lists. At the end

11
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:33,360
of the section, you will be able to write short

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,780
programs to interact with the user and store the

13
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:40,950
values you got with variables. For this section,

14
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:43,140
we are just going to use the Python Shell that we

15
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:46,890
got when we installed Python. This way we can

16
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:49,620
directly dive into the Python functionalities

17
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:53,940
without wasting time doing configuration work. And

18
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:56,250
we are going to install and use a proper text

19
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:59,700
editor only after this section. And as I

20
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:02,970
previously said in the introduction, I encourage

21
00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:06,390
you to watch first the entire section. Even if you

22
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:09,690
don't understand everything. Then you might try to

23
00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:13,650
do the exercise. Rewatch again, this time using

24
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:16,096
the pause and rewind buttons
