- We're done, congratulations.
You now know the fundamentals of programming.
You've learned how programs are created
using programming languages.
You've been able to write source code
and run it from your own computer.
And you have a foundational understanding
of the Python programming language.
I hope you feel inspired to keep learning more.
At this point the best thing you can do is start practicing.
Don't feel that you have to learn
everything there is about a specific language or tool
before you can get your hands dirty.
I could watch every video there is about Salsa dancing,
but I won't get any better until I get up
and start moving.
It's the same for you and learning how to program,
you need to practice coding
on a consistent basis to get better,
and to feel more confident.
Here are a few ideas to help you get started.
Search online for a local meetup group
that caters to new programmers.
Participate in an online community
focused on your chosen language.
Create some programs that use the skills
you've learned so far.
Check out the exercise files for a few ideas.
Also, be sure to check out the other courses
in the Programming Foundation series.
This will give you a well-rounded view
of what's involved in developing software.
I really enjoyed putting this course together for you,
and I wish you much success on your coding journey.
