I would like to go through a little bit more detail about the concepts you'll need

to understand before we continue. If you do not understand any Python,
0:14
I recommend you check out "Python, Jump Start by Building 10 Applications" or "Python for the

to speed on Python quickly. Since this course is not cover basic Python syntax or usage, I want to go through a couple of the key concepts you
0:30
need to understand by presenting some example simple code snippets.

In this course, you will be installing Python libraries with pip or Conda. You will be

importing Python modules. You need to understand dictionaries and lists and assigning values to variables

Creating and calling functions as well as working with f-strings and pathlib with the
