The goal

What you'll learn to do

Set up Python in PyCharm or VS Code and run your own programs.
Use variables, types, operators, strings, user input and conversions in practical calculations.
Solve problems with conditions, loops, functions, lists and tuples.
Explore classes and objects, decorators, generators, lambda, map and filter through small examples.
Read, write and append text files, work with CSV and JSON, and present a tested console-based mini project.
