Are you interested in learning about coding in Python but aren't sure how to start?

Perfect! You've made it to the right course.

In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about programming with Python and supercharging your coding with ChatGPT. Meet your instructor, Cobalt, who has been professionally writing code for 25 years and teaching beginners and experienced programmers to write and improve their code regardless of skill level and experience.

In these fun and hands-on lessons, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to about control flow, syntax, data types, functions, and much more in Python. More importantly is how we'll be learning.

By the end of the course, you will have learned the following skills:

1. Python Fundamentals

   An introduction to Python, including an in depth walkthrough of the Pycharm website layout and interface. You’ll learn about the basics concepts of programming, such as the anatomy of a script, algorithms, variables, data types, and an overview of Python as a programming language. From there, we’ll dive deeper into control flow and the choices the language makes based on branching structures, and how to handle common errors through the process of debugging.

   
   - Getting started with Python
   - Understand Python as a language of programming
   - Develop your own code

2. ChatGPT: Fix and Supercharge Your Code

   A step-by-step guide of ChatGPT, including the program interface and how to create an OpenAI account. You’ll then use a pre-rolled prompt that generates code in ChatGPT. You’ll learn how to refine your prompts, ChatGPT’s basic algorithms and efficiency, its weaknesses and limitations, how to fix coding issues, and how to prompt the chatbot to explain sorting algorithms.
