Introduction to Python

Hello friend! 👋 You’re about to start an amazing adventure with Python – one of the friendliest and most powerful programming languages in the world!

Python is loved by millions of people: beginners, kids, scientists, web developers, and even big companies like Google, Netflix, and Instagram use it every day.

Why? Because Python is easy to read (it looks almost like English), super versatile, and lets you build anything from simple scripts to games, websites, or even artificial intelligence!

A Tiny Bit of History

Python was created in 1991 by Guido van Rossum (he called it Python after the comedy group Monty Python!).

Guido wanted a language that was fun to use and easy to understand – and he succeeded! Today Python is one of the most popular languages worldwide.

Where Is Python Used?

• Web development (Django, Flask)
• Data science and machine learning (Pandas, NumPy, TensorFlow)
• Automation and scripting (doing boring tasks fast)
• Game development (Pygame)
• Scientific research and education
• Even in space – NASA uses Python!

Whatever you want to create, Python can help you get there!

Your First Python Program

Let’s write the classic "Hello, World!" program – every programmer’s first step.

Click the Run button and see the magic happen! 🎉 The print() function shows text in the console.

You just wrote and ran real Python code – congratulations! You're officially a programmer now! 🌟

What Will You Learn Here?

In this course we'll go step by step:

• Basic syntax and how Python works
• Variables, numbers, text, and lists
• Making decisions and repeating tasks
• Creating your own functions
• Working with files and data
• Building bigger projects

Every lesson has explanations, examples you can run, quizzes, and practice tasks – all designed to be fun and clear.
