What you should know

“

- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course, there are a few things that it would be helpful for you to know. The first is basic Python syntax. And ideally some experience with the latest versions of Python 3 since there are definitely a few differences there from what you might have been used to with Python 2. If you're not already comfortable with Python 3, it's not hard to learn. Just check out the essential training video for Python in our library and come back to this video afterward. It would also be helpful for you to have some experience with basic command-line operations. All we'll be using for this course is basic commands like cd to change directories and ls to see the contents of a directory, as well as a few commands specific to working with Python. Keep in mind also that if you're on Windows, these commands might be a little different. There's a link in the description to an article showing many of the basic Linux commands and their Windows equivalents. Finally, since I'll be using it as a reference point throughout the course, a basic knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts can be helpful to have. Even if you're not familiar with object-oriented programming it's not a big deal. You should still be able to follow along comfortably with the examples. Also, I highly recommend that you follow along with me as I write code, but I've included the start and end states for all the code that I write in this course in the exercise files for your reference. So basically, this course is for low intermediate to professional developers who have a desire to improve their code by learning and applying functional concepts. If you fit that description, then this course is definitely for you.
