Fundamentals

Various tutorials and programming exercises for those students who would like a little extra practice and support. These are resources that previous students of mine have found helpful.

Coursera Python programming essentials

A good introductory course that is roughly equivilant to the IGCSE course. https://www.coursera.org/learn/python-programming?

University of Helsinki Python MOOC

Another solid online course. The "Introduction to Python" (parts 1 through 7) are roughly equivilant to IGCSE and parts 8 onwards cover quite a bit of the Diploma course. https://programming-26.mooc.fi/

When you create an account, go to your profile page and add pbaumgarten as your guru. This will allow me to see your progress through the exercises.

Python from Scratch

By the University of Waterloo

Python from scratch is a gentle introduction to programming, designed with the beginner in mind. No previous background is assumed. Each programming concept is first taught without reference to a specific programming language. Hands-on practice using the programming language of Python helps to reinforce the concepts.
