Fundamentals of Python BootCamp Workshop : 8 Hours

Fundamentals of Python

Description: This course provides an in-depth introduction to Python programming for college freshers. It covers the basics of Python syntax, data structures, and fundamental programming concepts. By the end of the course, students will have developed a solid foundation in Python and completed a project to reinforce their learning.

Prerequisites:

• Basic understanding of programming concepts (such as loops, variables, and conditionals)
• Familiarity with any programming language is helpful but not required
• Laptop with Python installed (version 3.0 or higher)
