1.3 Python as a Language

Oct 1st, 2016 7m 48s

We look at how writing programs is just another form of communication. Instead of communicating with another person, we are communicating our ideas to a computer.

2.1 Building Blocks of Python

Sep 30th, 2016 9m 40s

We look at Python's reserved words, how we name and use variables, why we choose meaningful (mnemonic) variable names and how assignment statements function.

3.1 If-Then-Else

Sep 30th, 2016 13m 29s

The most basic conditional structure is the if statement where we either execute or skip a segment of code based on the results of a logical expression (i.e. asking a question).

3.2 More Conditional Statements

Sep 30th, 2016 13m 51s

In this video we look at multi-branch if statements and the try-except concept where we can indicate a group of statements to be executed if something goes wrong with a block of statements.
