Python to Support the Digital Technologies curriculum
This resource includes two components: a link to the Python web site to download the software, and a link to a free online course to learn how to program in Python by Codecademy. Python is a free programming language. The Codecademy course allows students to work in a self-paced environment with step by step guidance and a dynamic console for immediate output of their Python code snippets. The course covers concept such as syntax, variables, strings, output, conditional statements, functions, loops, dictionaries and data structures.
