Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time.

This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better.

By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further.

Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do.

Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.
