Start Programming with Python

A guided entry for beginners, students, and office professionals who want visible progress each week — not an open-ended video library.

Starter path

  1. Week 0 — Install Python, editor, and cohort forum access.
  2. Weeks 1–4 — Python Syntax Foundations with traceback drills.
  3. Weeks 5–8 — Functions & Modules Lab or File & Text Scripting based on placement.
  4. Optional — Builder track courses toward automation capstone.

Exercise wall

Each week unlocks three drills on the wall. Submit before mentor office hours to receive markup within 48 hours. Walls are reusable — alumni often rerun drills when switching jobs.
