This is not an introduction to Python course.
0:03
We do assume a little bit of working knowledge.
0:06
We assume that you have basic Python programming skills.
0:10
I would say if you're, what you might consider
0:12
an advanced beginner, you're totally
0:15
good to take this course.
0:17
We're going to use things like classes
0:18
and decorators and functions and so on
0:21
but we're not going to describe what a class is
0:24
or describe what a function is or things like that.
0:26
So make sure 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
0:33
Jumpstart by Building 10 Apps course.
0:35
That's all about learning Python.
0:38
So here we assume that you know Python.
0:40
We also assume that you know a little bit of HTML.
0:43
That if you look at HTML, at least you can make sense of it
0:45
you know what, say, an attribute is
0:48
what a class is, things like that.
0:50
We're not going to be doing too much advanced stuff with HTML.
0:54
I'm not sure if there is such thing as advanced HTML
0:56
but we're not going to be doing too much with it
0:59
but of course, this is a web class
1:01
and we're going to be doing a lot of HTML
1:03
but I assume that you can work with standard markup.
1:07
Similarly, we're going to be using CSS
1:09
and I'll talk a lot about what the selectors
1:11
and classes and design mean, and especially
1:14
when we get to the bootstraps section
1:15
and applying that to our website.
1:17
So we're not going to assume you know tons of it
1:20
but we're not starting from scratch with CSS either.
1:23
So basic HTML, CSS, and Python knowledge
1:26
that's what we assume you're starting with
1:28
and then we're going to build
1:30
our full-stack web app from there.
