*This file will be updated regularly to answer questions from the comments on this video.

1- Who is this course for and what are the


prerequisites?
- Anyone who wishes to learn programming from scratch with no
prior background
- Anyone who knows programming already and wants to learn
python
- No prerequisites except knowing how to deal with a computer
and download and install files from the internet

2- What does the course cover and is it


complete? Will I become a professional
after this course?
- The course covers all the fundamental programming basics
using python and then dives into the more advanced concepts of
the python language
- The fundamentals have been completed at lesson 30 and the
rest of the lessons after 30 are advanced and specific to python
language
- Advanced lessons are regularly added along with projects
- No programming course will ever make you a professional or
teach everything there is, you have to learn the fundamentals
and then start making projects as this is the only way to master
programming, watch this video to make sure you avoid these
mistakes when learning.

3- PC specifications needed for the


course?
- You can use any pc/laptop that is working properly, you do not
need a powerful pc/laptop, probably anything produced in the
last 11 would do the job
- You can use android/iphone/ipad devices, although i do not
recommend it but if you do not have a pc/laptop available then its
better than nothing

4- Which Python Version/IDE to use?


- You can follow along the next lessons and use pycharm or visual
studio code as i do
- You can use the latest pycharm only if you have a 64 bit
windows or mac system. For 32 bit systems download an older
version here
- You can use any other text editor you are comfortable with, you
do not have to use pycharm or visual studio code
- If you have a problem installing the python extension for visual
studio code check out the solution in this video
- If you are having a problem installing a text editor or python
itself, you can use an online interpreter such as repl.it or
programmiz
- You can use python version 3.6 or more (most recent stable
version right now is 3.9)
- Check this link for downloading specific python version for
windows, as the latest version doesn’t work for windows 7
- For windows 7 you can download version 3.8.6, for 32bit and for
64bit, if you have a problem with installation you will find the
solution here
- For windows 8 or later you can download the latest version
- For development on mobile phone you can download Pydroid 3
or QPython 3L for android, or Pythonista or Pyto for iOS
5- Other Tips
- If you feel that the pace in the first few videos is fast, lower the
playback speed settings from youtube to 0.75 and you should be
fine, after the first few lessons my pace slows down
- Always check the comments under the video if you had any
troubles and you will most probably find the answer to you
problem
- Join the facebook group if you have questions or are facing
troubles you couldn’t find an answer to in the comments, and
make sure to browse the group first before posting your
questions because chances are you will find a similar question
with answers already
- In the first video of this series, why python, you’ve come to know
the fields where python is used, if you wish to know more about
how big companies use python you can watch this video
- This file will be updated regularly incase any other problems
arise, so make sure to write your problems or questions in the
