Python Basics
About this Course
This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You\'ll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You\'ll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook \"Fundamentals of Python Programming,\" which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you\'re a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization.Created by: University of Michigan
