A repository I made for absolute Python beginners

Python For Beginners

Hello, novice Pytohnistas! I created this repository for absolute beginners of Python 3 for my club, Code@IU. Learning to code can be a very overwhelming process because you might not know where to begin. If you feel like you are at that state, then this repository is for you. The following topics will be covered:

• 1. print( ) and basic data types
• 2. Variables
• 3. Booleans and if statements
• 4. Lists
• 5. for loops
• 6. Functions
• 7. Importing modules
• 8. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• 9. Blockchain Class

Each file will have thorough documentation that should make it easy to follow along.

A quick disclaimer: this repository is meant for absolute beginners! It is meant to be clear and concise. By no means do these scripts explain the concepts in totality. In fact, I'd say that it barely skims the surface! The goal of this repository is to give a beginner the confidence to explore the world of Python with the syntax and terminology to succeed.

Installing Python 3

Since you're probably a beginner of Python, you probably will not have it installed. In order to run the code in this folder, you will need to install Python 3 to your local computer. You will also need to download Sublime, which is a super simple text editor to write your Python.

I created a pretty nifty set of slides to download Python 3 and Sublime on your Mac or PC. You can view the slides here.
