WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.400 Hello and welcome to The Complete Python Developer Course. 2 00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:08.010 My name is Tim Pancho and this guy is my co-instructor, James Paul Roberts. 3 00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.840 And we're here to actually help you become a great powerful developer. 4 00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:14.150 We're going to do absolutely everything in our power to do so. 5 00:00:14.150 --> 00:00:17.030 So please actually watch through to the end of this video because there's some 6 00:00:17.030 --> 00:00:19.910 important tips on how to get the most out of this course. 7 00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:23.590 Which ultimately means you can become a better programmer sooner. 8 00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:26.110 And the other thing to keep in mind is, particularly in this video, 9 00:00:26.110 --> 00:00:30.810 I also talk about the fact that there's set up videos for each operating system. 10 00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:32.380 For Windows, for Mac, and for Linux, 11 00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:34.830 so you need to make sure that you go to the relevant area. 12 00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:37.050 But again, it's all explained in this video. 13 00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:40.070 So, I'll share over now to the slides and watch to the end of the video and 14 00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:44.610 then we can actually get started coding So who are the instructors? 15 00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:46.490 Well firstly, my name is Tim Buchalka and 16 00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:50.770 I've actually been a software developer for over 30 years. 17 00:00:50.770 --> 00:00:53.260 I'm also the creator of the Android and 18 00:00:53.260 --> 00:00:57.040 Java courses on undameme with 34,000 students. 19 00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:01.280 And I've previously worked in software development for companies like Mitsubishi, 20 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.420 Saab and so on. 21 00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:07.750 I like to also introduce my co instructor, Jean Paul Roberts and 22 00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.920 like myself Jean Paul has been actually working in the industry for a long time. 23 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.240 He's been a software developer also actually for 30 years or for 24 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:18.950 over 30 years, 15 years of that it's been actually he worked at IBM and 25 00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:21.540 in addition three years teaching at a University. 26 00:01:23.330 --> 00:01:24.920 So in this course you learn from the best. 27 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.300 We're going to combine 60 plus years of software development and 28 00:01:28.300 --> 00:01:29.900 teaching experience. 29 00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:31.860 And we know how to help you succeed with Python. 30 00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:38.720 So another thing to keep in mind here is the course is constantly being updated. 31 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:40.900 This is not a static course so. 32 00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:44.580 New content is actually coming out each week. 33 00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:47.200 So do keep checking back for new content. 34 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.296 That's one of the things that I'm myself on in previous courses. 35 00:01:51.296 --> 00:01:55.650 Some of my courses had been updated continually for a period of 12 months. 36 00:01:55.650 --> 00:01:57.130 And you'll find with this course, 37 00:01:57.130 --> 00:01:59.470 we're constantly adding new content all the time. 38 00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:04.230 So do make sure you check back for that content So 39 00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:08.420 I'm going to now just give you a few tips on how to get the most out of this course. 40 00:02:08.420 --> 00:02:10.310 Firstly it is designed to be done in order. 41 00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:13.870 Section by section, and we do suggest you take the time to 42 00:02:13.870 --> 00:02:18.110 type in all the code as you go through, and also complete the challenges. 43 00:02:18.110 --> 00:02:21.070 Now what the challenges are are a mechanism that's actually built into 44 00:02:21.070 --> 00:02:24.290 the course But we set you a challenge and you actually go in and 45 00:02:24.290 --> 00:02:28.910 create the code to solve the challenge and then you can come back and 46 00:02:28.910 --> 00:02:31.710 actually check the solution with the code on screen. 47 00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:34.150 So we actually show you our solution as well. 48 00:02:34.150 --> 00:02:36.650 And by doing that you really will get the most out of this course. 49 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.120 In addition, the other thing to know is we've actually got sections for 50 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.480 Windows, Mac and Linux. 51 00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:46.570 So depending on your operating system after watching this video, 52 00:02:46.570 --> 00:02:49.310 you want to go to that relevant section of the course Which is 53 00:02:49.310 --> 00:02:52.480 basically setting up the tools that you need. 54 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:56.870 So again, Windows, Mac and Linux you go to the relevant section, setup the tools and 55 00:02:56.870 --> 00:02:59.390 then after that you actually move on to section five. 56 00:02:59.390 --> 00:03:02.440 This is where you actually start coding. 57 00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:05.970 So do that after you've actually set up the tools in the relevant section. 58 00:03:05.970 --> 00:03:08.170 Section two being for Windows, section three for 59 00:03:08.170 --> 00:03:10.920 Mac, In section four across Linux. 60 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.070 If you actually need help at any time, 61 00:03:15.070 --> 00:03:18.930 make sure you use the discussions feature which is part of this course, and 62 00:03:18.930 --> 00:03:21.270 one of us will actually get back to you as soon as possible. 63 00:03:21.270 --> 00:03:24.020 There's actually a button you can actually click, and you actually leave a message. 64 00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:27.730 You can leave screen shots, you can leave And code and so forth and 65 00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:29.970 we will get back to and reply there and 66 00:03:29.970 --> 00:03:33.110 you'll actually be able to get an answer to any queries that you have. 67 00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:36.710 And the other important thing is that all the source code we show you, including 68 00:03:36.710 --> 00:03:40.815 the challenges is actually available for download in the course if you need to. 69 00:03:40.815 --> 00:03:44.735 So sometimes it's a good idea if you can't get a particular bit of code working 70 00:03:44.735 --> 00:03:48.865 to check our source code which we've tested and ensured does work and try that, 71 00:03:48.865 --> 00:03:50.205 download that, put that on your computer. 72 00:03:50.205 --> 00:03:52.132 Install it and run it. 73 00:03:52.132 --> 00:03:55.312 And from there you sort of try figuring out where you actually 74 00:03:55.312 --> 00:03:56.432 went wrong with your code. 75 00:03:56.432 --> 00:03:57.312 It's actually a great way, 76 00:03:57.312 --> 00:04:01.392 a great skill to learn debugging, which is the concept of actually fixing 77 00:04:01.392 --> 00:04:04.432 errors in programs because that will make you ultimately a better programmer. 78 00:04:06.622 --> 00:04:09.712 Lastly, I'd like to finish off by saying, don't give up. 79 00:04:09.712 --> 00:04:13.392 Expect that learning to program will take time to master, but make 80 00:04:13.392 --> 00:04:17.000 sure you do actually go through and do all the challenges, type in all the code. 81 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.100 And if you re watch the videos as well. 82 00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:21.560 Sometimes the first time you watch a video and 83 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.430 learn a particular concept it can stand to be a little bit overwhelming, but 84 00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:28.550 if you re-watch the video and re-study it you'll find things become a lot easier. 85 00:04:28.550 --> 00:04:30.810 So keep at it and don't give up, ok so 86 00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:33.860 that's the end of the first introductory video. 87 00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:37.240 At this time now, move forward to the relevant section which again is section 88 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.580 two for Windows, section three if you're on a Mac, and section four 89 00:04:41.580 --> 00:04:45.110 if you are on Linux, and after that keep to section five and we'll start coding. 90 00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:45.610 Cheers for now
