Welcome to this optional first section of the course: a crash course on Python programming!

Now if the phrase “crash course” didn’t tip you off already, this section is meant to be a brief introduction to the very basics of Python; specifically, the fundamental skills you’ll need to tackle all those cool Python automation projects later in the course.

But if you already have those fundamental skills – things like variables, expressions, if statements, loops, and using modules/libraries – feel free to quickly skim this section OR simply skip it altogether. You can always refer to it later on if needed.

If on the other hand you’re looking for a more comprehensive introduction to general-purpose Python programming, ZTM’s Complete Python Developer course is a terrific complement to this one.

Regardless of which path you choose, I’ll see you later (or sooner 😊) in the course!
