Learn to design, develop, and execute basic programs in Python.

Zero to Hero in Back-end Web Development

This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the various tools in Python that help create programs, including documents, movies, and games. We’ll start with simple mathematics. Then, we’ll move on to writing step-by-step solutions to real-world problems in simple English. Next, we’ll learn about decision-based solutions, demonstrating these via flowcharts and explaining them with execution sheets. Finally, we’ll learn to translate our solutions into Python programs using variables, conditional statements, loops, strings, lists, and built-in functions. We’ll also learn to create custom functions in Python. After completing this module, we will have acquired the skills to write basic programs in Python.

Getting Started with Python

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the “Getting Started with Python” module.

## Summary
In this module, we learned how to write simple programs without prior programming knowledge. We started by getting hands-on experience writing basic programs (using simple math and writing step-by-step solutions to real-world problems in simple English). Moving ahead, we covered decision-based solutions demonstrated via flowcharts and explained with execution sheets. We also covered the core programming components in Python and learned to translate our solutions into Python programs using variables, conditional statements, loops, strings, lists, and built-in functions. Ultimately, we learned to design and execute customized functions in Python.

## What’s next?
Now that we have started to write programs and solve real-world problems in Python, we will cover Python essentials in greater detail in the next module, “Python Fundamentals.”
