Programming Basics

Overview

This chapter covers the basics of computer programming using the Python programming language. The topics covered here are foundational to everything else you'll learn about programming, and Python, going foward. When we learn to program there are two key areas of focus, first is programming concepts, and second, is the syntax of the target programming language. It is important to distinguish between the two because programming concepts include knowledge that applys no matter what programming language you use while learning syntax is specific to the programming language itself (in this book that's Python) and does not apply to other programming languages. So, in this chapter, we will explore the basics of both programming concepts and the syntax of the Python programming language.
