Follow the Learn to program in Python from Vijfhart and learn the fundamentals of programming and Python's essential features.

The Python Programming Fundamentals course, developed by the open-source experts at AT Computing and exclusively available via Vijfhart, teaches you the basics of programming in Python and introduces you to Python’s unique features, from algorithmic thinking to object orientation. Python is easy to learn and widely applicable across many IT disciplines, including Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Cyber Security. It’s used for everything from system administration scripts and installation software on Linux to web applications, graphical user interfaces, and automation. Thanks to its built-in object-oriented design and extensive standard library, Python is ideal for rapid application development: building quickly and efficiently without reinventing the wheel each time. This course is perfect for anyone with little to no programming experience.

Over the span of five days, you work toward writing Python code independently. You start by learning the fundamentals of programming itself: how to translate a problem into a solution using algorithms. Along the way, you become familiar with key programming terminology and concepts that apply to any language.
