How to learn to code in 15 minutes with Python (Yes, 15 minutes)

Trust me, I know. I’ve been through it - when I started to code, it was a loooong road. But today, we’re going to learn to code. In 15 minutes. Using Python! In this Youtube tutorial below, I take you through a quick way on how you can get up and running with coding.

You’ll learn how to

• work with variables

• perform mathematical operations on Python

• perform mathematical operations on dataframes and use pandas

• create graphs

What you Need

So in order to code, you usually need a language to choose. I’m choosing for you- it’s Python. You can research all the good vs bad things about Python but we’re coding in Python.

• You’ll need an IDE which is integrated development environment. It’s just a fancy platform where we will be typing our code and running our code.

• So we’re using Anaconda. Anaconda is an open-source distribution of the Python and R programming languages for data science that aims to simplify package management and deployment. We’re using it because it’s easy and handles the whole Python Installation.

• Head over to anaconda.com and download it.
