This is not an introduction to Python course
0:03
we do assume a little bit of working knowledge.
0:05
We assume that you have basic Python programming skills.
0:09
I would say if you're what you might consider
0:11
an advanced beginner
0:12
you're totally good to take this course.
0:15
We're going to use things like classes and decorators
0:17
and functions and so on
0:19
and we're not going to describe what a class is
0:21
or what a function is or things like that.
0:24
So, you'll need to have that as prerequisite knowledge.
0:27
Make sure that you have some basic working knowledge
0:29
of Python in order to take this course.
0:31
If you don't, consider taking my Python Jumpstart
0:34
by Building Ten Apps course
0:36
that's all about learning Python.
0:37
So here we assume that you know Python
0:39
we also assume that you know a little bit of HTML.
0:43
That if you can look at HTML
0:44
at least make sense of it
0:45
you know what say, an attribute is
0:48
what a CSS class is, things like that, that would be good.
0:51
We're not going to be doing too much
0:53
advanced stuff with HTML
0:54
in fact, I'm not rally sure there is
0:56
such a thing as advanced HTML
0:58
but we're not going to be doing too much with it.
1:01
But of course since this is a web class
1:03
we're going to be doing a lot with HTML
1:05
and we do assume that you have
1:07
working knowledge of standard markup.
1:10
Finally, we're going to be using CSS
1:12
and I'll talk a lot about what the selectors
1:14
and classes and design mean
1:16
especially when we get to the Bootstrap section
1:18
in applying that to our website.
1:20
So we're not going to assume that you know tons of CSS
1:23
but we're also not starting from scratch there either.
1:25
Basically, HTML, CSS and Python knowledge
1:29
that's what we assume you're starting with
1:31
and then we're going to build
1:32
our Full Stack web app from there.
