What you should know

- [Instructor] This course is intended to help new programmers take the first steps towards creating their own Python projects. The kind of personal projects you might work on during the weekend for fun or practice to grow your hands-on programming skills. As an example project throughout this course, I'll take you through my journey to develop a Python application which automates generating and sending a daily email digest. Now, this course is not intended to teach advanced software architectures, design patterns, or the type of development methodologies you might encounter in a professional workplace with teams of developers working together on a large-scale project. There are lots of other courses that cover those more advanced topics. Before beginning this course, you should already have a basic working knowledge of Python and fundamental concepts like functions, conditional statements, variables, and so on. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable writing and executing your own Python scripts. If you're not already familiar with Python, I recommend getting started with the Learning Python course or the more comprehensive Python Essential Training. To explore and run my Python scripts throughout this course, I'll be using the Visual Studio Code Editor, which is available to download for free from code.visualstudio.com. That said, feel free to use any Python development environment that you're already familiar with to follow along with this course.
