LcSkill-basedBeginner

Learn to Code

For complete beginners. Learn to use the command line, then the building blocks every language shares — variables, decisions, loops, functions, lists and dictionaries — taught in Python. Finish by reading and writing files, debugging with a method, and building a complete program on your own.

Also part of Software Engineer and Python — progress here counts there too.
