The series of videos on Channel 9 is designed to help get you up to speed on Python. If you're a beginning developer who's looking to add Python to your quiver of languages, or trying to get started on a data science or web project, these videos can help teach you the foundation necessary to walk through a quick start or other tutorial.

• The basics of Python
• Starting a project
• Common syntax
• Package management

• Class design and inheritance
• Asynchronous programming
• Basics of programming

• An understanding of Git
• Light experience with another programming language, such as JavaScript

As the goal of this course is to help get you up to speed on Python so you can work through a quick start, the next step after completing the videos is to follow a tutorial! Here's a few of our favorites:
