The author, Caleb M. Bowyer, uses Jupyter Notebooks to demonstrate code examples that accompany the lessons in the series. The tutorial underscores the motivation for learning Python due to its growing demand and relevance in the tech industry. The lesson concludes with an invitation for readers to become Medium members to access more of the author's content and support writers on the platform.

Opinions

  • The author believes that Python's global popularity and its use in top companies provide strong motivation for learning the language.
  • Jupyter Notebooks are presented as a valuable tool for teaching and illustrating Python code examples within the tutorial series.
  • The author suggests that becoming a Medium member is beneficial for continuous access to their stories and to support the writing community on Medium.

Introduction to the Basics of Python 3-Part 1

From these last few slides it is clear that Python is used around the world, and continues to rise in popularity. Also, it is a top programming language at many of the fastest growing and most popular companies in the world. That is a lot of motivation to continue learning Python!

In this tutorial series on Python 3, I routinely make use of Jupyter Notebooks for the coding examples. Hence, in most of the slides, you will see Jupyter Notebook cells that illustrate specific examples of code, that go along with the corresponding lesson.

That’s it for this first lesson on the basics of Python 3.

Until next time,

Caleb.
