Python, Step by Step

Features
Read full description

A quiz-based Python learning app, sized for your phone. Python, Step by Step is a Python intro built for people learning to code for the first time. Tap-only micro-lessons that take a few minutes each cover the basics — variables, data types, branching, loops, functions — without ever asking you to type a single line of code. Highlights - A few minutes per lesson. Built for your commute, your coffee break, your before-bed reading - 16 units — from the basics all the way to classes, exceptions, and the standard library - Varied exercises — predicting output, filling in blanks, reordering lines, and more - All learning content is free. No paywalls - Streaks (consecutive days) help you build the habit Who it's for - People just starting with programming - Anyone who needs to pick up Python for work or a career switch - Anyone who wants to touch a bit of code in short bursts What you'll learn (16 units) 1. Welcome (first program, print, comments, input) 2. Variables and Data Types (numbers, strings, booleans) 3. Doing Math (operators, f-strings) 4. Branching (if / elif / else, logical operators) 5. Repeating (for / while, break / continue) 6. Functions (defining, arguments, return) 7. Talk to your program (input, prompts, interactive programs) 8. Group with lists (create, index, loop) 9. Dictionaries and tuples (keys and values, sets) 10. Classes 101 (__init__, self, methods) 11. Exceptions (try / except, raise) 12. Files (open, read, write) 13. Functions, leveled up (lambda, *args, map / filter) 14. Class inheritance (super, overriding) 15. Comprehensions and iterators (generators, yield) 16. Standard library (math, random, datetime, os)

About

Fynix

Read full description

Learn Python from scratch, at your own pace, like a game. Fynix turns programming into something you can practice in five minutes, on the bus or before bed. No two-hour videos or manuals you abandon in chapter three: short lessons, one idea at a time, and exercises where you actually write code. OVER 12,000 EXERCISES Ten levels that take you from your first print() to classes, files, modules and error handling. Every topic is practiced until it sticks. TWO WAYS TO PRACTICE Multiple-choice questions to understand what the code does, and build exercises where you put a program's lines in order by dragging pieces. You don't memorize: you build. LEARN ANYWHERE Short lessons that fit into any spare moment: in line, on a break or between classes. DON'T LET IT SLIP Daily streaks, experience, lives, leagues and achievements make coming back tomorrow easy. SPANISH AND ENGLISH Switch languages whenever you want. Learn Python and, along the way, the technical English vocabulary you'll use your whole career. WHO IT'S FOR For anyone who has never written a line of code and wants to start right. For students taking the course who need more practice than class allows. And for anyone who already codes and wants to pick up Python or brush up on what's getting rusty.
