Brand new to programming and want to get some hands-on Python experience? Let's learn some Python together!

During this tutorial we will work through a number of programming exercises together. We'll be doing a lot of asking questions, taking guesses, trying things out, and seeking out help from others.

In this tutorial we'll cover:

• Types of things in Python: strings, numbers, lists
• Conditionally executing code
• Repeating code with loops
• Getting user input

This tutorial is intended to ease you into Python. Each exercise section is careful not to assume prior programming knowledge.

I expect you to have experience typing on computers and to have rudimentary math skills (just arithmetic). I am not expecting you to have experience with programming. We will define new terms as we use them

You'll leave this tutorial, having written a couple small programs Python yourself. Hopefully you'll also leave with a bit of excitement about what Python can do and curiosity to keep diving deeper.
