Python Tutorial for Beginners: Complete Hands-On Course

A comprehensive, beginner-friendly Python programming curriculum spanning 16 hands-on modules. Designed to take learners from their first print("Hello, World!") statement all the way to object-oriented programming (OOP), custom module packaging, and robust exception handling.

Accompanies the Python 1-Hour Crash Course on YouTube.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Course

git clone https://github.com/codewithmuh/python-tutorial-for-beginners.git
cd python-tutorial-for-beginners

2. Verify Your Python Version

Python 3.8 or higher is recommended:

python3 --version

3. Run Any Lesson

Every module contains standalone, executable Python scripts:

# Run first lesson
python3 01_Our_First_Python_Program/app.py

# Run classes and objects lesson
python3 16_Classes_and_objects/app.py
