Python Programming

I will assume that you already know how to program in Java. Rather than discussing programming concepts from scratch, I will instead introduce you to Python by highlighting its differences to Java, whether it is the differences in their syntax or in their design philosophies. While many fundamental concepts are common between Python and Java, I will aim to highlight when you should not be thinking like a Java programmer when programming in Python.

I will assume that you already have a reasonable understanding of imperative programming (variables, loops, control flows, functions) and object-oriented programming concepts (classes, methods, object instances, inheritance, encapsulation) in Java.

I will not aim to tell you everything about Python, but instead give you just enough information to get you started exploring Python on your own (by actually using it!) Most importantly, I will try to guide you on how to think in Python.
