This is a documentation about my learning progress in python.
All topics which are listed here, I have described in detail and worked out by myself.
Feel free to learn python easily using my beginner friendly roadmap.
Because the best way to learn a programming language is by practical application, I will mostly avoid theoretical descriptions.
In this chapter I will only go into the most necessary details to gain a first insight into the Python programming language.
After all, a programming language is first and foremost a tool to solve different problems.
But before we use this tool for problem solving, we have to learn more about this tool.
For now, let's answer the first question: What is python?.
