Easy
Python
Guide
Welcome!
Thanks for visiting my site. As the name suggests, this is a beginner-friendly guide to getting started with programming, particularly Python. I’ve created this resource as something I wish had been available to me when I was starting out. My hope is that you’ll find it as useful as I would have
A bit about my background: I spent a decade working in property and have a degree in Psychology, so programming was completely new to me. I’ve always been comfortable with IT and maths, but when I wanted to transition into coding I had no idea where to start. I tried a lot of different online courses, YouTube tutorials and completed a few qualifications which all taught me something, but at the very beginning I wish I'd had a more structured, simple guide showing not just the theory but the application of programming fundamentals. That's what this guide is for. I want to focus on real world examples, which I believe are key to truly understanding programming.
A lot of the guides I read and tutorials I watched would teach syntax and give examples like writing a Python script to store a list of fruits. That may help you to understand what lists look like, but in a way which you would likely never use. My aim here is to help you build a solid foundation in programming and show you how to use these concepts in practical ways.
The areas I will cover are:
- What I wish I knew when I started

- Basic and Compund Data Types🔜
- Integers🔜
- Floating Point Numbers🔜
- Strings🔜
- Booleans🔜

- Functions🔜
- Classes🔜
- Modules and Packages🔜
- User Interfaces🔜
I want this to be as useful as possible and always appreciate feedback. If you have anything you'd like to share or any other topics you'd like me to cover, please let me know using the form below:
