Python Programming for Teens

Introduction

Blog post designed to teach programming and concepts to younger people that are just beginning to take an interest in computing and programming.

All learning will be done using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B which is a small and affordable computer that you can use to learn programming.  The core programming language for the Raspberry Pi is the Python programming language (it's the Pi in Raspberry Pi). 

Python

  • Python is an open source programming language that was made to be easy-to-read and powerful. A Dutch programmer named Guido van Rossum made Python in 1991. He named it after the television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Many Python examples and tutorials include jokes from the show.
  • Python is a good programming language for beginners. It is a high-level language, which means a programmer can focus on what to do instead of how to do it. Writing programs in Python takes less time than in some other languages.
  • Python has a very easy-to-read syntax.
