Beginners level Python kickstarter files.These files have been developed in the python bootcamp that was carried out at Techcamp Kenya on February of 2019 ## Introduction This is a step by step guide with examples to become proficient in programming. ## What is in the menu - About python.(History and Nature). - Environment Set-up.(Pycharm and the idea of venv). - Python Syntax. - Variables types. - Basic Operators. - Decision Making in Python. - Loops. - Numbers. - Strings. - Lists. - Tuples. - Dictionary. - Date and time. - Functions. - Modules. - Files I/O. - Exceptions. - Classes/Objects. - Regular Expressions. ## Python Python is a general purpose,interactive,interpreted, object oriented programming created by a guy called Guido Van Rossum(in Netherlands) as a successor of ABC language. #### 1. General purpose. - Can be used for backend web development. - Scientific Computing. - Artificial intelligence. - Data Analysis. - System Operations. - Server and administrative tools. - Deployment. - Scientific Modelling. - Desktop apps. - Games. - etc. #### 2. Interactive. Python offers an interactive shell to users > The interactive shell is interactive in the way that it stands between the commands or actions and their execution. This means the Shell waits for commands from the user, which it executes and returns the result of the execution. After this the shell waits for the next input. > A shell in biology is a calcium carbonate "wall" which protects snails or mussels from its environment or its enemies. Similarly, a shell in operating systems lies between the kernel of the operating system and the user. It's a "protection" in both direction. The user doesn't have to use the complicated basic functions of the OS but is capable of using simple and easier to understand shell commands. The kernel is protected from unintended incorrect usages of system function. #### 3. Interpreted. An interpreted language is a language that is read in its raw form and executed statement at a time without being first compiled. #### 4. Object Oriented. Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Meaning, it supports different progr …
