First Code in Python: Programming Foundations Built Step by Step — the free Preview

This page is the real first concept of First Code in Python: Programming Foundations Built Step by Step (Signature Course No. 331) — not a trailer and not a video. You work through Concept 1, “A Program Is a Recipe the Machine Follows Exactly,” in a Socratic conversation with an AI coach: she asks before she teaches, builds on your own answers, and holds you to a mastery bar before the concept counts as done.

What this course teaches. Learn to program from zero in Python: predict what code will do before it runs, store values in variables, bend a program's path with decisions and loops, and build up to functions, dictionaries, files, and code you have checked yourself. Every program in this course runs, and every output stated is the output the code actually produces.
