👩‍💻 Python for Beginners Tutorial

In this step-by-step Python for beginner's tutorial, learn how you can get started programming in Python. In this video, I assume that you are completely new to programming. We'll walk through how to get Python, how to run your first code, and how to get an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to help you code faster. You'll also learn about variables and how to set them. We'll look at functions, if statements, while and for loops, and we'll import libraries. At the end, we'll also look at how you can troubleshoot your code, for instance, when you run into syntax, semantic, or runtime errors. By the end, you'll know how to run code and you'll also understand the basic concepts of programming. My name is Kevin Stratvert and I'll be your guide to Python. I previously worked at Microsoft for 14 years.

At last, I have found someone explaining complex things so fluently. Kevin, please continue the Python series. It will help a lot of people like me. Thank you for this helpful video. ❤

Thanks Kevin! ❤After struggling for 1 year with complicated tutorials, I finally learned Javascript! I did with the help of videos like yours and a few good books. I got hired this week and I'm here to say thank you!
Edit: For those asking, I learned with the books 'Javascript In Less than 50 Pages' for the basics of programming and 'Smarter Way to Learn Python" for Python.
Learning anything else becomes much easier after that.

It's about time that somebody thoroughly explains this without skipping steps. Whenever some people tutor in these things, they sometimes miss steps because they figure that it's too unimportant because they already know the information. Thanks a trillion! Now I understand this way more than I ever did before. You sir are brilliant! Blessings to you and your family.

To be honest it’s not important how well skilled is your instructor, but it’s important how he transfer that knowledge! I really am amazed the way you were explaining it! Thank you so much! And I was lost where to start it

[jhasalt]

I've taken a python course about 8 years ago.... I have never made it through a full lecture and honestly cheated my way through the class to get the credit. This video was the first time I sat through the entire thing and understood what I am trying to learn lol. Why we still need to pay thousands of dollars to learn something to get a piece of paper that says "I did it" is beyond me.

I'm in my late 60's with no computer programming background whatsoever yet I found your tutorial well thought out and at a very good pace. Suddenly I'm full of enthusiasm to learn more. Thank you Kevin.

[marceetraylor]

Kevin!!! Thank you! I know this was posted 2 years ago, but you have made my life so much easier. I'm taking this endorsement class for computer science and I was struggling. Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!

[yhbrjsb]

I have never seen any other YouTube videos that explains Python in such a clear and perfect way. I would like to thank you very much for sharing your valuable time and information with us.

[annad]

Outstanding. He gets into the mind of the beginner and does not skip anything. I have not seen ANY other teacher on FutureLearn or Udemy who come even close to giving a clear and complete path to start programming as Kevin does.

[solomonsomadina]

Kevin, please continue the Python series. It will help a lot of people like me. Thank you for this helpful video.

[PrestisTunes]

Today was my very first day ever writing code and you made it extremely easy to understand and follow along. Thanks for the inspiration, Kevin!

[houm]

practically started last week learning. I know nothing about coding and decided to start with python and after watching 4 videos from different channels, I have to hand it to you, by far the best. It seems some people providing beginners tutorials don't understand that people like us need a more meticulously planned presentation so as to not get lost.

[jaazshaan]

Hi Kevin, I usually don’t write comments for any videos I watch, but I can’t ignore your videos. I learned ms word, excel, PowerPoint, power BI from your videos only . Your videos are very easy to grasp and understand and you provide worksheets also. Keep doing this please. I can’t express my gratitude to you. Thank you so much.

[FinnandMaxsMom]

I tried watching a Python tutorial on LinkedIn. It was totally awful. This tutorial was FANTASTIC. It gave me the basics so that I could follow along and participate. I wasn't sitting there struggling to download stuff that I didn't need, and Kevin stuck to one operating system. Thank you so much for this great training. I'm more confident now than ever before.

[bythepark]

You're a great teacher with a very calm, structured and relaxed style!

[philreins]

What you covered in just about one hour, is way too impressive. Thanks very much, Kelvin you are the best!

[WorldITAcademy]

A good teacher is a person who enjoys what he teaches. Enthusiasm is infectious.

[itsizeam]

your the very first coding youtuber that i learn stuff from, you make your videos so indepth but not boring and make me smile whenever i do anything. thank you for doing what your doing

[GammaFields]

Exactly what I was looking for. I've been bouncing around through beginner videos trying to figure out why it was just a terminal screen instead of an IDE(which nobody has explained except you).

[zafarakber]

Kevin, You are my favorite Teacher. If I want to learn anything I just check in your Videos first and if found (as often I find a video on that subject) then I try to watch it as the way you explain in simplest language and systematically. Thanks a Ton for the great job Kevin
