BRO.i am wit u....
nice job..
pls wich app can i download as to start..
(dis is my first tym)i no ntin albou programming

In the first video on installation and setup, it explains it.. U can check it out.. Weda u are using Windows, mac or an android

kingjms010:
Pls, will a system of Core i3 and 4gb ram run a programming language like Python, I want to start learning but I'm afraid my laptop won't be able to run or handle it

Yes, it will.. Jst install the apps I indicated in the installation video.. Avoid heavy apps like anaconda, and you'll b fine.

I would appreciate some feedback from the people following the course, as it would go a long way to encourage me.

I would also appreciate if u subscribe to the channel.

DAY 3
BOOLEAN AND CONDITIONAL LOGIC PART 1


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqlapHQTOTI

In dynamic programming, it is necessary to get user input with which to perform some operations.
In python, There is a built-in function in Python called "input" that will prompt the user and store the result to a variable.

name = input("Enter your name here: "
Enter your name here: Sam
print(name)
Sam

Conditional logic using if statements represents different paths a program can take based on some type of comparison of input.

syntax:
if some condition is True:
do something
elif some other condition is True:
do something
else:
do something

Conditional Logic include the following
Equal ==
Not equal !=
greater than >
Less than <
Greater than or equal to >=
Less than or equal to <=

wow..fantastic..
but i av a prob oo..my PC is faulty..
for now i am not on whatsapp..pls kindly continue on dis forum...tankz

No problems Bro, the tutorials will be posted here..

Ibruks:
This is good bro. I really need this, thanks. For the whatsapp group, I think that means we'd (our set, as per those that see this thread early and also joins the group early) be the only ones to get most of the info. If anybody else stumbles on this page some months now, he or she would be stranded at some point since the discussion here would have ended. My view tho.

Ok.. I'll be posting a whatsapp like tomorrow.. once I find out that it is not in violation of NL's rules and regulation..

Prefola:
Hmmm
If I say I'm not confused den I'm not being honest

Sorry about that.. but most of the things are explained in the video... But I'll try to explain it in the form of texts.. for pple who may ot be able to watch the video... sorry about the confusion

VARIABLES AND STRINGS IN PYTHON PART 2


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTPWYrIL5oY

Data types in python include int, float, bool, str, dict, list, set, tuple and so on.

One of these datatypes is String (str)
Strings are important and are declared using single quote
x = 'a string'
or double quotes:
y = "a string"
Escape characters \n \t \' are important in strings to perform specific tasks.
strings can be concatenated (joined) using the addition symbol +
Strings can also be formatted using f string:
age = 12
print(f"she is {age} years old"

or
print("she is {} years old".format(age))

all these are covered in these video and lots more

VARIABLES AND STRINGS IN PYTHON PART 1


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9_ayvUedcw

Variables are used to hold values. In python, variables are Dynamically typed, unlike other languages in which variables are statically typed. this means that in Python, when a variable is declared, it can be changed and the variable holds the new value.

There are some naming conventions used in python variables which must be adhered to strictly in order to prevent errors in our code. some of these are:
1. variables must begin with an underscore or a letter.
2. Special characters should not be placed between variables in order to avoid errors.
3. __DONTCHANGE__ A variable beginning and ending with 2 underscores means that these variables should not be changed for any reason whatsoever
and lots more

Thanks guys for your support.. As for your suggestions about the whatsapp group, I'll look into it...

DAY 2
NUMBERS, OPERATORS AND COMMENTS IN PYTHON


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sesHR3GW7wM

Numbers are one of the basic building blocks of any programming language. This is because they are always used in programming, to perform arithmetic as well as other uses.

The two types of numbers in python are Integers and floating point numbers. Integers could be positive or negative whole numbers whereas floating point numbers are also known as decimal number i.e numbers with decimal points.

There are 7 basic operations which can be performed in python they are:
1. Addition + (2 +5)
2. Subtraction - (10 - 4)
3. Multiplication * (6 * 6)
4. Division / (100 / 5)
5. Exponentiation ** (2 ** 5)
6. Modulo % (5 % 2)
7. Integer Division // (81 // 11)

In all these operators, some operations have higher precedence than others (Similar to BODMAS). This is known as Operator Precedence.

Comments are used by programmers to enhance readability in code. Comments are not run by the compiler, they are ignored.
comments are used to explain some certain parts of the code so that the programmer can remember that part of the code when he checks it again.(reference)
Comments are represented using the hash # symbol


In this video we will discuss about the types of numbers in python and how they are different from each other. We would also go further to talk about the basic operations which are performed in python, starting from the basic ones to more complex operations in python. Then we would also look at operator precedence in python. After that, we would study about the importance of comments in python and why comments are necessary in python

Ikennablue:
Following, pls don't stop halfway, and don't be discouraged even if you don't get enough followers. More grease to your elbow

Sure boss.. thanks

COMMAND LINE FUNDAMENTALS AND FILE STRUCTURE


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9GFaSH1cXo


The command line is one of the basic skills that every programmer should have. The Command Line is quite extensive. But there are some basic fundamentals that should be at the finger tips of every programmer or prospective programmer.

In order to understand the command line and use it effectively, you need to understand file structure which is hierarchical in nature (parent/ children relationship)

Here, I try to explain some of these basic syntax of the command line with some structures so that you get to understand how the command line works as well as file structures so that you can understand it properly and use it, instead of using the conventional GUI (Graphical User Interface) as this would help in your journey.

Some of the commands you get to use by the end of this are commands like touch, mkdir, ls, ls -al, mv, rm, rm -rf, pwd and lots more.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP FOR ANDROID, MAC, AND WINDOWS


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfU3B7hy4Bs

Before we begin our journey into the exciting world of python, we need to get a couple of things set up. This would help us write our code effectively and enhance debugging. We will need to download some software and install them on our machines to get started.
Some of the softwares we need to install are: the python compiler, a text editor preferably Visual Studio Code, Git Bash for windows users and Pydroid 3 for Android Users.

The sections shows how u can correctly install them:

Mac Installation: 0:00
Android Installation: 8:24
Windows Installation: 10:31

INTRODUCTION


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8zccWt7NU4

The python Programming Language is one of the most sought for languages today. Reason is because it can be used for the following:
1. Web Development
2. Game development
3. Desktop Application
4. Android Development
5. Data Science/ Deep Learning/ Machine Learning

Understand how to prepare yourself for the python journey or easy transition if you are migrating from another language to python

Happy New year to you all.. I hope you enjoyed the festivities..

As one of my plan for the new year, I will be teaching python programming for the next 30 days. After these 30 days, you will be opened for a lot of opportunities in the programming world.

The reason I've chosen python is because it can be used for almost everything ranging from web development to game development to desktop app development to Data Science and Machine Learning.

I have carefully selected the topics to teach for the next 30 days, including projects so as to make you understand the concept of programming and python.

Feel free to post questions on this thread or in the comment section of the YouTube video.
