Python - First Week

Python is taught online in Tamil without any cost. The only expectation from them is to create a blog and write our understanding after learning. Hence started writing the blog.

• Started Learning python through Kaniyam. Got to know about two Tamil people Syed and Srini. Classes will be for Monday to Wednesday at 7pm to 8pm

• WhatsApp group was created and 3 classes completed. Agenda for every class is clear. During the class Zoom Recording and YouTube Live both were made which is useful for Checking it again.

There was a Q&A session planned by Srini and Syed today as there are many participants(11.07.2024 - Thursday)

I told them that I will create a blog this weekend. Srini objected and said that postponing the activity will keep that delayed. Hence today I started writing my first blog.

For teaching Kids, below websites can be checked

• https://code.org/
• https://scratch.mit.edu/

Other important links:

• https://kaniyam.com/ebooks
• https://www.datacamp.com/tutorial/setting-up-vscode-python

I have asked two questions today.

1. Website link to teach kids?
2. To know in detail about print function(like hovering over VSCODE on print provides detail) what I have to do?
3. For the above I have to add some addons. those are Python and Pylance
4. During the conversation Pandas also came which is a library for Excel data processing.

Also there was some interesting questions came about AI training using Python. It seems like with the available data, next prediction will happen like Regression LinearGraph.To know more about AI, We need to study the Book from Kaniyam

AI Libraries

• Scifikit
• Tensorflow
• pytorch

To do:

1. Go through the link or search on adding python, Pylance library to VScode
2. Explore Pandas with the Ebook
3. Read Byte of python till date
