Information Technology Tools and Applications: Python

In Fall 2022, I took Python with Professor Steve Perry. I have always shied away from coding, so I chose this class to just dive into the deep end. Through a series of increasingly more complex assignments, I went from knowing absolutely nothing about the Python language to being fairly comfortable utilizing it. 

The most important things I learned in this class were:

• How coding languages work and are formatted, especially their syntax and structures. This enables me to 'read code' rather than facing a wall of text with confusion.

• The importance of paying attention to the small details. That missing semicolon makes a huge difference!

• The terminology need to ask the right questions when I am trying to solve a coding problem. 

• Where to find answers and help to continue my own learning journey. Websites like W3schools are enormously help to continue to 'play' with code and answer new questions.
