It has come to my notice that there are lots of folks out with strong desire to learn programming, many of which are confused as regards which language to start with.
with that in mind I decided to open this tread.

We will be learning the python programming language version 2.7, please have that downloaded on your PC.

I will be posting topics, construct, examples, exercises, mini-projects for us to play with frequently along side others who may want to contribute.

NB: THIS IS Opened FOR BEGINNERS OR INTERMEDIATE ASPIRANTS, SO IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL, THIS TREAD IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU. RATHER YOUR SUPPORT WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Following

Get Python Crash course... that's all

Why py2.7? Don't give a support answer

orimion:
Why py2.7? Don't give a support answer

Because it's syntax structure is clearer and basically, the most widely used python version in the world.

QUICK INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON

Python is the language of the python interpreter and those who can converse with it.
An individual who can speak python is called a Pythonista.

Python was originally developed by Guido Van Rossum
The language was named python after an Old British Comedy Show called Monty Python.

The fact that something works for you does not mean it will for others. Your statement maybe true but too general to be accepted.

Experience in this field has taught me that the best way to learn this skills is by Doing and by interactions.

.. working in team
.. attending programming meet ups and hackerthons
.. reading other's code
.. building projects with others
.. learn with and accessing others

regards.

Let's play with those,

Try and make up text for yourselves and using python, display them as you want on the screen.

Don't forget to ask questions if necessary.
Others can as well contribute what they know about this concept or how it can be presented in other versions of python.

regards.

Prompting will be looked at soonest.

UP NEXT: Python as a calculator under which we will look at maths operators and their usage.

what do you have in mind if I may ask....?

nothing really, I was just curious

just like Windows 7, python 2.7 lasted for a very long time before python 3.0 came out, a large number of people are used to it.

Did you stop?
