Master Python Basics Using A Fun Visual Design Library

      In this course, students will learn Python programming hands-on by using code to create fun art and games. This course teaches programming in Python and the Turtle Graphics library, a Python library used to create digital art and visual patterns. Students with little to no programming experience will find this course particularly useful as it will teach concepts from the ground up. Intermediate level students with an interest in using programming to capture user input and create graphics can also benefit from the later sections of this course.

   

    First, we will look at setting up Python IDLE and Turtle Graphics and some basic things we can do using the graphics library. Next, you will get hands-on experience using programming to create a simple graphics creation program. Finally, you will learn basic game development using Turtle Graphics and will understand how we can capture user input and construct game logic in Python.     


     By the end of this course, you will have a firm grasp on the foundational concepts of Python programming and be able to implement your knowledge to create visually appealing graphics. You will have a set of skills that you can use to build video games for your portfolio. 

  • Create digital art through Python code

  • Program video games in Python

  • Create basic graphics creation programs using Python to build digital art tools

Good course but skipped over explaining a couple of the more complicated conditional statements.

The instructor coded the game along with us, so we could follow along, and thoroughly explains each step. Most importantly, however, he provides a finished version that would allow me to compare my code to his.

He certainly knows how to code but he does not know how to teach other people. He wastes a lot of time on second section explaining simple stuff and then he speeds up, he does not explain what he is doing and why. As a result at the end of the section you have a lot of questions. I definitely do not suggest this course for people willing to learn.

Another great course from this instructor. I was able to easily follow the lectures and project based parts of the course. I looked up the instructor on LinkedIn and saw he taught programming for a few years at NJIT as a teacher's assistant. All in all, quality course from a quality instructor. Hoping to see more courses from Robert!
