Python for Beginners 2.2
A fabulous set of tutorials to get you going using Python. Theseare not ordinary "watch and repeat" tutorials that youtraditionally find on the internet. Each video will set a task forthe learner to complete and if the learner needs a little supportto complete the task then there is always a solution video on handtoo. The app itself will expand over time, but so far there are 6distinct python tasks to make. A simple calculator program, a hi logame, a magic 8 ball and a random name picker. These would keep newprogrammers busy in class for a fair few hours and this app is anideal tool to help cover the requirements of the new computingcurriculum in the UK. Of course it will also benefit anyone on theplanet who can follow a bit of spoken English and wants to learn tocode in python too. Users will need to download Python and we willbe using the IDLE IDE to get going.
