This course is designed to introduce beginners to the fundamentals of Python programming. It starts from the very basics—such as syntax and variables—and gradually progresses to more advanced topics like object-oriented programming, file handling, and working with libraries. By the end of the course, learners will be able to write Python programs, solve real-world problems, and build simple applications.
