Python Foundations

Write and run real Python right in your browser — no installs. This is a general programming foundations course, not the Java Information Technology pathway. Every concept comes in a rigorous Theory mode and a hands-on Visual mode where you explore by running code, with instant-checked coding challenges.

What you'll learn

  • Store and reason about values using variables and the core Python types
  • Work with strings, input and output to build interactive text
  • Make decisions in code with if / elif / else conditionals
  • Repeat work with for and while loops and combine loops with conditionals
  • Write and trace small Python programs
  • Design algorithms with selection and iteration
  • Query simple relational tables
  • Explain hardware and system-software roles

Before you start

  • Comfort with basic arithmetic (add, multiply, compare numbers)
  • No prior programming needed — this is a first course
