Course Description

Already familiar with Python basics? Ready to craft smarter, cleaner, more efficient code?

In this Python 102: Beginner's Power-Up course, we'll build on your foundational knowledge and take your Python skills to the next level. Designed for learners who arrive from the Python 101: Kickoff course or those already learning Python and understand the fundamentals, this course explores core programming structures and techniques essential for writing real-world Python programs.

Throughout this Python for beginners course, you'll learn and practice Python's most used sequence types (lists, tuples, and ranges) and how to manipulate them effectively using slicing, indexing, and built-in methods.

But this course goes beyond data structures. We'll sharpen your control flow skills with in-depth coverage of conditional logic—exploring if-else structures, standalone if statements, and how to effectively nest conditionals. Then, we'll dive deep into looping structures—from for loops to while loops—and explore how to combine them with conditional logic. You'll also learn how to break or continue the flow of your loops.

By the end of Python 102: Beginner's Power-Up, you'll have:

A solid grasp of Python's most essential sequence types (lists, tuples, and ranges)
Substantial control over program flow using conditional statements and loops
Confidence in using nested structures to solve complex problems
