| module | First Light | Your first Python — REPL, scripts, variables, and the syntax to write small real programs. |
First Light
Bash and Git got you off the ground. Now we put a real programming language in your hands. Python is small enough to learn fast and big enough to power half the systems running in production right now.
Ten blocks. About four and a half hours.
What You'll Do
- Print your first Python output
- Use the interactive REPL
- Run a
.pyscript - Declare variables of every basic type
- Read input from a cadet, transform it, print it back
- Write a small calculator
Pace
About 4.5 hours. After this you'll know enough Python syntax to write real programs in the next module.
