Getting started with a new environment can be challenging, especially when you literally don't even speak the language. Fortunately, we created a set of videos to help get you up and running with the language, so you can focus on the task at hand - learning how to create applications using Python.
We don't dig into specific frameworks, but we help get you ready to start exploring on your own. We'll show you the core Python concepts you'll need as you begin your journey into web development on popular frameworks such as Django and Flask, use AI services such as Cognitive Services, or even machine learning.
- The basics of Python
- Starting a project
- Common syntax
- Package management
- Class design and inheritance
- Asynchronous programming
- Basics of programming
- An understanding of Git
- Light experience with another programming language, such as JavaScript
As the goal of this course is to help get you up to speed on Python so you can work through a quick start, the next step after completing the videos is to follow a tutorial! Here's a few of our favorites:
- Quickstart: Detect faces in an image using the Face REST API and Python
- Quickstart: Analyze a local image using the Computer Vision REST API and Python
- Quickstart: Using the Python REST API to call the Text Analytics Cognitive Service
- Tutorial: Build a Flask app with Azure Cognitive Services
- Flask tutorial in Visual Studio Code
- Django tutorial in Visual Studio Code
