Python for Beginners - Using Python for Prototyping

This is a detailed lesson which shows how to build Prototype Applications using the Python Programming language.

The Video uses the online "Python Room" IDE emulator; however this free IDE no longer exists, and so use PyScripter, MU, PyCharm, or any of the other common Python IDEs.

If you are a Beginner Programmer then make sure that you have watched our previous video "Algorithms and How to Program in Python for Beginners".

If you only need to learn or review certain specific aspects of Python, then use the Index below to jump to the section of the Tutorial you are interested in.

If you have already fully completed our previous video on "Algorithms and Python" then use the Index to bypass the Python Syntax Review sections, and go straight to the Prototyping in Python.

Use the Index Below to skip to various Index points in the video when you need to.

We are planning to make several more Programming Videos, which will form a great course for people to learn how to do Analysis, Design, and Programming.

These videos should be especially useful to Students and Teachers of VCE Computing and VCE Software Development in Australia, as well as anybody else anywhere in the world doing a Programming Course, or wanting to learn about Computer Application Development.
