About This Course

Python is the language most schools use for GCSE Computer Science, and it is a kind one to learn first. This course starts from the very first line of code and builds up through variables, loops, conditions and functions.

Every concept arrives attached to something worth building — a quiz, a password checker, a number-guessing game — so students can see why it matters rather than taking it on trust.

Suitable from upper Key Stage 2 for confident readers, and ideal preparation for Key Stage 3 and GCSE.

Requirements

The course covers all the basics required along with applications which gives the learner a high level of exposure in python programming. I liked the way the course is explained ie, by showing the errors and how to correct them. This enables the learner to debug issues on his own. Keep up the good work.
